The National Monuments Service's description
Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere; faintly visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery as a circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by the cropmark of a fosse, in tillage. Also visible immediately to the S are two parallel linear cropmarks of a former shelterbelt of trees which formed this part of the townland boundary separating Nurney Demesne from Balkinstown townland to the SW. A second levelled enclosure (KD027-029----) lies c. 100m to the WSW.
