What makes this site quietly peculiar is precisely that disappearance from the official record: mapped as an enclosure on the Ordnance Survey Ireland six-inch edition of 1840, it vanishes entirely from the 1897 twenty-five-inch edition and from all later map versions. The ground, however, has kept its shape regardless of what the surveyors chose to note.

The site is a rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, which refers to a roughly circular enclosure defined by an earthen bank and, in many cases, an outer ditch. Ringforts were the dominant settlement type in early medieval Ireland, typically used as farmsteads between roughly the sixth and twelfth centuries, and thousands survive across the country in varying states of preservation. This example, catalogued as LI030-030----, measures approximately thirty metres north to south and twenty-eight metres east to west, with a fosse, meaning a surrounding ditch, still legible around its perimeter. It sits about 190 metres southeast of the Honeypound townland boundary. Its disappearance from the 1897 map and subsequent editions is not unusual for sites of this kind; enclosures in agricultural land were frequently omitted or overlooked as revision priorities shifted, and ploughing or field improvement sometimes obscured surface features enough to discourage re-recording, even where the earthwork itself persisted.

The ringfort is not signposted and lies within working pasture, so access would require landowner permission. Its existence as a visible feature was confirmed through aerial and satellite imagery, including Ordnance Survey orthoimages from 2005 to 2012, Digital Globe imagery from 2011 to 2013, and Google Earth captures from March 2016 and February 2020, all of which show the circular form clearly from above. Anyone with an interest in the site would do well to consult those freely available satellite views before visiting, since the enclosure reads more legibly from the air than it might from ground level in long grass. The record was compiled by Edmond O'Donovan and uploaded to the national monuments database in September 2020.
