The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on limestone pavement within a large multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). Indicated on Robinson's (1977) map of the Burren. Visible on OSi aerial imagery dated 2005 as a small roughly square enclosure (c. 16m WNW-ESE; c. 15m NNE-SSW). Described by O Rahilly (pers. comm. 1995) as ‘a circular platform enclosure’. More recent aerial imagery (MapGenie 2013-2018) indicates that it is heavily overgrown. There is a court tomb (CL008-002001-) c. 75m to the W.
