The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pasture, just to the N of a NE-SW ridge. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1920) editions of the OS 6-inch map. This poorly preserved circular enclosure (int. diams. 20m N-S; 19m E-W) is defined by the remains a broad (Wth 3-6.5m) but very low bank (H 0.05-0.1m) from N-E-S-SW. From SW-W-N, the original enclosing bank appears to have been reused and hedged as a later field boundary. There is a quarry depression against the inner edge of the enclosing bank at W and the interior is uneven and overgrown with grass and weeds. According to local information, gleaned during an inspection in 1999, the enclosure was levelled c. 1980. ‘Lisbeg’ (CL017-107----) lies c. 110m to the S.
