The National Monuments Service's description
Located west of enclosure (DU007-077----) within a large arable field known as the Stang, close to the townland boundary between Brownstown and Roscall with extensive views south to the Dublin/Wicklow mountains, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m). Visible on Google maps imagery (June 2018), other cropmarks to the east indicate a series of enclosures and possible field system.
