The National Monuments Service's description
The site is situated in reclaimed pasture on ground falling away gradually to the SE. It is marked as a circular enclosure on the 1843 OS 6-inch map (diam c. 30m). This may be one of the 'circles' at Ballybetagh identified in the OS Letters in 1837 (Herity 2001, 15). The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
