The National Monuments Service's description
In improved, generally level pasture with natural surface undulations. Barely traceable arc (dims. 18m E-W; 10m N-S) of levelled bank (Wth c. 10m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.15m) WNW->N->E. Deeply disturbed by modern farming practices and incorporated into field as pasture. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as the cropmark of an enclosure. Arc of bank noted during field visit corresponds to roughly circular anomaly traceable upon modern aerial photography (Bing 2013).
