The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m), defined by a low bank or scarp with an external fosse, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery date 8 March 2010; Digitalglobe, viewed 3 September 2020), identified and reported by Gaibhin O'Dubhconna. There is a farmyard located indicated immediately NE of the enclosure on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map and the 1947 revision, however, this and the field boundaries associated with it to the W have been completely removed. There is another enclosure (KK010-021----) 190m to the NE.
