The National Monuments Service's description
Noted by McCaffrey (1952, 225-6, Site no. 138) to the E of a cashel (GA104-117001-) and described as 'an elliptical enclosure of 197' [60m] x 143' [43.6m]. The surrounding bank is 8' [2.44m] wide and 1'6" [0.45m] high. Some stones are embedded in this bank'. Extensive land clearance has occurred in the area and no visible surface trace of the monument survives. There was another similar enclosure (GA104-117004-) to the N of the cashel.
