The National Monuments Service's description
A ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. Tom Condit, 11 March 2015). Cropmark of a possible pit-circle (DU017-104----) to SW with traces of a larger outer enclosing pit-circle (DU017-104----) visible on OSi Bluesky orthoimage taken 2018 (https://sdublincoco.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=e0c5595b033341dea7661e248d2e9ee9). The ring-ditch appears to be located just inside the line of the large pit-circle.
