The National Monuments Service's description
On a plateau of exposed and grassed-over karst in the Burren, within an extensive field system (CL009-021001-). Indicated on the OSi Cassini mapping and visible on OSi Digitalglobe (2011-2013) aerial imagery. This roughly square enclosure (c. 13m N-S; c. 12m E-W) is defined by a stone wall. The N side may be incorporated into a field boundary. A possible annexe or small field extends off it at NW. A rough trackway runs outside it to the S. Noted by Conn Herriott. A similar enclosure lies c. 163m to the SE and another enclosure (CL009-021058-) lies c. 60m to the E.
