The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in grassland, immediately S of a rath (GA099-022----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS map as a pair of conjoined enclosures, see also GA099-022001. This N example, circular in plan (diam c. 40m), was cut by a roadway at N. All that survives is a single length of bank running N-S for 30m. It appears to form NE section of the monument.
