The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, at the peak of an N-facing hillock, immediately adjacent to a larger enclosure (KE020-020002-) to the SE. Depicted on the 2nd ed. (1897) OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 26.5m) defined by a bank ESE-WSW and by a scarped edge WSW-ESE. A townland boundary is shown cutting across the southern third of the enclosure on an E-W axis. When visited in 2000, no visible surface trace of the enclosure was evident.
