The National Monuments Service's description
On an elevated plateau in pasture within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL009-001001-). A subcircular enclosure (c. 70m N-s; c. 55m E-W) visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and embedded in a particularly dense irregular field system. Reported to the National Monuments Service by Ros Ó Maoldúin. A later NNE-SSW field boundary crosses the centre of the enclosure and other subdivisions are evident. Field boundaries extend off the perimeter in almost all directions. An enclosure (CL009-258----) of similar size lies c. 22m to the NW.
