The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of flat rocky pastureland. Marked on the 1922 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly subrectangular possible enclosure (c. 34m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE). The townland boundary wall between Parkroe and Shessareagh cuts through it from N to SE. No visible surface trace survives to its W. To its E a very poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. and ext. H 0.5-0.7m) is visible from NW through N to E.
