The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a small hillock. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a large enclosure. There is no visible surface trace of an enclosure at this location. Naturally formed, elevated area of ground defined by steep slope to N and E and a more gradual slope to S (depicted as a contour on the OS six inch map). A potential cropmark of a pair of small, conjoined enclosures, located on top of the hillock, are evident upon modern aerial photography (OSi 2010). This is not evident upon more recent aerial imagery (Bing 2015). There is no visible surface trace of these at ground level.
