The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in scrub and rough pasture at the N edge of a ravine aligned NW-SE within a very extensive medieval field system (CL009-059001-) spanning several townlands. Listed as ‘Enclosure, possible’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a D-shaped enclosure (ext. dims. 20.6m NE-SW; 22.8m NW-SE) with a straight N side orientated NW-SE, defined by a single drystone wall (Wth c. 0.5m). Although some of the stones are large and laid flat this appears to be a modern construction.
