The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight W-facing slope in pasture. Hachured on the OS 1840 6-inch map as a large D-shaped enclosure (c. 38m N-S) with a straight S side (L 50m). The townland boundary juts out to S to respect the straight S side. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 there was no visible trace at ground level.
