The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight NE-facing slope in an area of fertile cleared pasture. A large rectangular enclosure (c. 90m ENE-WSW; c. 45m NNW-SSE), oriented NE-SW is visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) partly as a low bank (at SW) and partly as a cropmark. The SW corner (c. 14m of the SW side and c. 47m of the SE side) is clearly visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotos. Reported by Conn Herriott. Killilagh graveyard lies c. 70m to the SW.
