The National Monuments Service's description
In a rugged, gorse-covered area, on a W-facing slope overlooking Glanmore Lake. A square enclosure (c. 10m x c. 10m) is indicated and named 'pound' on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. A laneway connects this pound with the road. It is also named 'pound' on the OS Fair Plan.
