The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A possible enclosure (dims. c. 73m NW-SE; c. 58m NE-SWm), sub-rectangular with rounded corners, visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. Only the E portion of the enclosure is visible, though presumably it continues W of the townland boundary which runs NW-SE through it. There appears to be an outer fosse, also visible as a cropmark 6-13m from the inner fosse.
