The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. This roughly subcircular enclosure (c. 29m E-W; c. 26m N-S) is visible on Google Earth satellite imagery dated March 2011. A later N-S running field boundary clips its E limits and another field boundary extends off it at NW and runs NW. Subsequent aerial imagery suggests the enclosure is levelled. Another enclosure (GA097-173----) lies c. 530m to the WSW and a rath (GA097-049----) lies c. 317m to the SW.
