The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the cropmark of an enclosure. No visible surface trace of an enclosure at this location. Levelled remains of low profile, sub-circular area (dims. 12m E-W; 10m N-S) defined by gentle scarp (Wth 5.0m; H 0.5m) is located c. 40m to W. It has been levelled and incorporated into field as pasture. No potential feature evident upon historic mapping and not apparent on modern aerial photography (OSi 2010; Bing 2015).
