The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in the SE quadrant of the Phoenix Park, 60m N of artillery batteries associated with an 18th century bastioned fort (DU018-007019-) 310m to SE. The batteries and the Magazine Fort are depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Cropmark of circular-shaped enclosure (approx. int. diam. 30m) visible on various Google Earth aerial photographs. The faint outline of this enclosure is visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery. A grove of trees are depicted at this location on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The cropmark may be the remains of a tree-ring or designed landscape feature of post-1700 date but this is uncertain. The circular cropmark appears to be located within the SE quadrant of a formal garden the cropmark of which is visible on Google Earth orthphoto taken 07/05/2017.
