The National Monuments Service's description

In grassland sloping to the S. This possible enclosure (c. 90m ENE-WSW) is visible on Google Earth imagery which was taken in 2011 (Google 2018). It is cut from ENE to WSW by the road from Ardrahan to Kinvarra. To the N of the road it is indicated from roughly W through N to ENE by a band of darker vegetation growth in the field. It is not obvious in the field to the S of the road. The band of vegetation may indicate the line of a fosse. It is not visible at ground level. The image was brought to our attention by Mr. Z. Silke. A possible cashel (GA113-108----) lay c. 110m to the SE.
