The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in cleared undulating pasture. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). A C-shaped (25m N-S) drystone wall (H 1.8m) open to the W and 11m N of a cashel (CL016-002002-). Three field boundaries radiate out from it at N, E and S. There is no evidence to suggest that it was originally circular or that it formed an enclosure.
