The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle SE-facing slope, with a small canalised SW-NE stream that forms the boundary with Co. Meath c. 80m to the SE. This is an unmapped circular grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by a substantial earthen bank NW-E and a slighter feature elsewhere. The interior is occupied by N-S cultivation ridges. It is visible on AppleMaps is isible on MapGenie images from 1995 and Google Earth, and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
