The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 1.1km 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. 180m to S. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) and on Apple Maps imagery (June 2018) where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The site encloses a subcircular area (ext. diam. 27.4m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.9m). The Apple Maps image appears to indicate the presence of two outer palisade trenches outside the S perimeter of the enclosure. There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the bank.
