The National Monuments Service's description

In dense scrub on a slight E-facing slope just c. 14m N of a clearing in which lies a wedge tomb (CL006-056----) c. 25m to the SE. Indicated as a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 23m) on the 1916 OS 6-inch map and as a diamond-shaped enclosure on the 1916 edition. Noted by Ros Ó Maoldúin. It may have been associated with the wedge tomb. Another possible enclosure (CL006-204----) lies c. 130m SE of the wedge tomb.
