The National Monuments Service's description
This enclosure was discovered in 2007 in the course of a survey of this area. It is situated in rough pastureland at the W edge of a large field immediately N of Kilnabasty Children's Burial Ground (GA105-184----) and possibly conjoined with it. It is defined by a low circular bank (O'Sullivan 2009, 18, 20, Fig. 2).
