The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing downslope just above the shoreline with rock outcrop immediately S and E and pasture to N, at the crossing point to Scanlon’s Island. Hachured on the 1842 OS 6-inch map as a circular feature (diam. c. 18m) and listed in the RMP (1996) as ‘Enclosure’. On inspection in 1997 there were no visible remains. The 1842 edition overlaid on Digital Globe (2011-2013) suggests some portion of a bank may remain. There is a rath (CL002-068001-) c. 200m NW and a cashel (CL002-019001-) c. 500m SSW on Scanlon’s Island.
