The National Monuments Service's description
In dense scrub on a slight E-facing slope just c. 100m SE of a clearing in which lies a wedge tomb (CL006-056----). Indicated as a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 23m) on the 1916 OS 6-inch map and noted by Ros Ó Maoldúin. It may have been associated with the wedge tomb. Another possible enclosure (CL006-203----) lies c. 25m NW of the wedge tomb.
