The National Monuments Service's description

On a N-facing slope in pasture. A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank, visible on OSi MapGenie 2012-2018 orthophotographs and noted by Emmet Byrnes of the Forest Service. The townland boundary 8-10m to the E appears to respect the shape of the enclosure.
