The National Monuments Service's description
Cropmark of a possible pit-circle (diam. c. 7m) c. 10m to WSW of ring-ditch (DU017-094-----) with traces of a larger outer enclosing pit-circle 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.
