A ringfort once stood here, a circular earthen enclosure of the kind that was the standard form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically used by farming families to protect their homestead and livestock. This one measured roughly 93 feet across. Today it has been levelled, and only a slight rise in the ground marks where it stood.

The fort was recorded clearly enough in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The 1842 Ordnance Survey six-inch map shows it as a hachured circular enclosure, the standard cartographic shorthand for an earthwork, and later editions from 1904 and 1939 still plot it as a raised circular area of around 35 metres in diameter. Then, sometime around 1922, it was levelled, most likely cleared to make the land easier to farm. The scholar P. J. Hartnett, writing in 1939, noted that while the fort itself had been removed, the track associated with it was still visible at the time of his observation. That detail is a quiet reminder of how long such features can linger in a landscape even after the structures they served have gone.
