The National Monuments Service's description
On level extensively cleared pastureland. A very poorly preserved enclosure (est. original diam. c. 35m) defined by a grassed-over stony bank (traceable L of arc c. 40m; Wth 2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) that only survives above the surface from ESE to WSW. The N limits are overlain by a laneway beyond which there are no remains visible at ground level. An enclosure (CL007-004----) lies c. 100m to the WSW and an ecclesiastical enclosure (CL007-003001-) and associated remains lie c. 250m to the N.
