The National Monuments Service's description

On the lower W-facing slopes of Mount Leinster in upland pasture. An oval enclosure (diam. c. 52m N-S; c. 48m E-W) defined by a low stoney bank, though the bank is not evident in the NW quadrant. Identified and reported by Michael Monahan. The enclosure is clearly visible on the ground and can also be seen on satellite imagery (OS ortho and Digitalglobe).
