The National Monuments Service's description
On an elevated plateau of undulating karst pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-001001-). The N segment of a possible circular enclosure (c. 23m E-W )defined by what appears to be a modern wall is visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and was reported to the National Monuments Service by Conn Herriott. Faint traces of a scarp forming the possible S half are visible on Google Earth (image date 2 April 2005). Also in that image the adjacent laneways appear to respect the curve.
