The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on the Burren plateau, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-013001-). A possible enclosure (c. 11m E-W; c. 9m N-S), roughly subrectangular in plan, is visible on OSi digitalglobe aerial imagery (2011-2013). It is defined by a grassed-over wall along the S, W and N sides but no visible trace of the E side is evident. Other possible enclosures (CL009-013021- and CL009-013020-) lie c. 57m and c. 140m to the NE respectively.
