The National Monuments Service's description
Within a field system (GA096-181----). All that survives is the arc of a curving wall (L 7m) which is defined by large stones facing a grassed-over rubble core (Wth 3.2m). The construction, width and curve of the wall suggest that it is the remains of an enclosure.
