The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately E of St Kieran’s RC church in Johnstown, in tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m), defined by a cropmark which is visible on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. A field boundary runs NW-SE roughly through the centre of the enclosure. The enclosure is less visible in the field S of the field boundary where there is a different crop.
