The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, level, poorly drained pasture. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the low remains of a large enclosure (wetland). Oval area (dims. 18m N-S; 12m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.2-0.25m) S->W->NE; scarp not discernible NE->S due to dense growth of vegetation. Heavy growth of rushes and occasional clumps of briars across this area. No potential feature depicted at this location upon OS historic mapping.
