The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 725m WSW of the complex of monuments at Springhill townland centered on an enclosure (DU015-057----). An unnamed E-W running stream, a tributary of the Mayne River, is located c. 120m to S. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The enclosure is circular in plan (ext. diam. c. 42.5m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 2m). There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the ditch.
