The National Monuments Service's description

This subcircular enclosure (9.9m N-S; 9m E-W) lies c. 4.5m to the NE of a cashel (GA071-014----). It is defined by the remains of a grassed-over stone wall. Internal stone-facing is evident at NW and there is an internal division in the SW quadrant of the interior; the latter is also defined by a grassed-over wall. No entrance feature is evident. Difficult to classify; possibly the remains of a house.
