Located just 80 metres from a possible Norman motte and 220 metres from the Rahanduff ringfort, the monument sits near the road marking the boundary between this townland and Galmoylestown Lower. Today, only cropmarks visible in aerial photographs hint at what once stood here; the site itself has been completely levelled since the 1980s.

When archaeologists surveyed the site in 1970, they found a roughly circular area measuring about 38 metres northeast to southwest and 33 metres northwest to southeast, surrounded by a low earthen bank and an outer defensive ditch that could still be traced along parts of its circumference. Old cultivation ridges ran east to west across the sloping interior, suggesting the land was farmed after the monument fell out of use. However, aerial photographs from Cambridge University taken in 1966 and 1970 tell a different story; from above, the earthwork appears more square than circular, leading some experts to suggest this might have been a moated site rather than a traditional ringfort.

The monument’s true nature remains something of a mystery. By 1984, nothing remained visible on the surface, though digital aerial photography from 2011 still reveals ghostly outlines in the crops above. Whether it served as a ringfort, a moated site, or something else entirely, this levelled monument joins countless other Irish archaeological sites that tantalise us with questions about who built them and why, their stories largely lost to time and the plough.
