First recorded on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map, this rectangular enclosure once measured approximately 38 metres from northwest to southeast and 30 metres across. The original maps show it as a distinct feature in the landscape, with an old boithrín, or country lane, carefully curving around its southwestern and southeastern edges before continuing eastward into what was then a broad stretch of bogland.

The monument’s fate changed sometime between the first and last editions of the six-inch Ordnance Survey maps. By 1909, practicality had won over preservation; the meandering boithrín had been straightened to cut directly through the ancient earthwork. This new road, now gravelled, effectively bisected the site and sealed its doom as a visible landscape feature.

Today, nothing remains above ground to hint at the medieval past of this spot. Where defensive ditches and banks once stood, a modern house and garden now occupy the southeastern side of the road, whilst a football pitch spreads across the northwestern portion. The only trace of the moated site exists in old maps and records, a reminder of how quickly even substantial earthworks can vanish beneath the everyday needs of rural Irish life.
