The National Monuments Service's description

In the former demesne of Ballyragget Lodge, under tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 28 June 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. The E quadrant of this enclosure is truncated by a road running N-S. A narrow band (Wth c. 10m) of trees, planted along the W side of the road, are indicated on the 1st and revised ed. OS 6-inch map and, though now removed, would have cut across the E half of the enclosure.
