The National Monuments Service's description
On the floor of Poulacarran valley in hazel woodland. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular enclosure (c. 34m NE-SW; c. 26m NW-SE). Due to the dense growth of hazel, this monument could not be located on a field inspection in 1997. A number of the field walls in the vicinity had been cleared as a result of reclamation works.
