The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). A townland boundary runs NW-SE immediately SW of the enclosure. It is not indicated on the 1899-1902 revision of the OS 6-inch map. On an aerial photograph (CUCAP AVL084, 15 July 1968) it is visible as the cropmark of a bank and outer fosse. Also visible as cropmarks on this aerial photograph are another roughly circular enclosure (KK024-050----) c. 130m to the E and the N portion of another enclosure (KK024-051----) c. 220m to the SE, as well as the cropmarks of modern field boundaries, indicated on the 1899-1902 map but subsequently levelled.
