The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture to the NW of Fieries. O'Hare (2000, 93-4) identified a possible enclosure (diam. c. 500m) defined by a curving field fence, which forms the south-west portion of the townland boundary of Roxborough. The possible enclosure is bisected by a NE-SW road. Its enclosing elements are generally similar to the other field boundaries in this area with trees, bushes and briars growing on many of them. Duplicate site with KE036-036002-.
