The National Monuments Service's description
'In a field which has been intensively reclaimed approximately 200m to the north-west of Annagh church are the semi-circular remains of another enclosure, now denuded, although substantial traces of the bank still survive. No trace of a ditch could be found. The enclosing element survives from west through north to east. Total diameter of this enclosure is 86.0m, the internal diameter being 54.0m. At west, the bank remains to a height of 0.20m externally, and to a height of 0.40m internally, and has a maximum width of 14.0m. At east the bank is more coherent, and survives to a width of 18.0m. Here at east the bank has an internal height of 0.50m and an external height of 0.70m. The interior is featureless.'
Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97.
