The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 1km SE of the complex of monuments at Springhill townland focussed on enclosure (DU015-057----). An unnamed W-E running stream, a tributary of the Mayne River, is located c. 23m to the N. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The enclosure is subcircular in plan (ext. diams. c. 35.6m N–S and c. 33.9m E–W) and surrounded by a ditch (Wth c. 2m). There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the bank.
