The National Monuments Service's description

A D-shaped area is shown defined by field boundaries within a wood on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map and may represent the E-half of a former enclosure, possibly a ringfort. However, this portion of the wood has been cleared and the area sown with corn' (SMR file, 1985). Near the top of a moderately steep NW-facing tillage slope. Not visible at ground level. The clearance of the area may have been associated with the construction of a Church of Ireland church and graveyard immediately to the S, which, according to a plaque, was consecrated in 1883.
