The National Monuments Service's description
A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 70m). The SE edge of the monument is partially truncated by a small road or boreen, running NE-SW, which is indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map. A small pond is indicated immediately ESE of the enclosure. A field boundary runs roughly E-W up to the N sector and another runs NE-SW up to the W sector. Another pond is indicated on the NNW edge of the enclosure on the 1945-6 revision of the 6-inch map. On satellite imagery the interior is under grass and there are some trees and scrub growing around the perimeter, except in the NW quadrant where the perimeter appears to be levelled. There is another enclosure (KK019-044----) c. 140m to the S and conjoined enclosures (KK019-045----; KK019-130----) c. 300m to the SE.
