The National Monuments Service's description
In a large field immediately W of Kilfane church (KK028-013001-) and graveyard (KK028-013003-) and W, SW and S of a quarry which is indicated on the revision of the OS 6-inch map and OS 25-inch map immediately NW of the church. A number of earthen banks are visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGK083, 17 July 1971), consisting of a rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 75m N-S; c. 50m E-W), c. 30m W of the quarry, within a larger rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 105m N-S; c. 60m E-W), with other banks running W and S of the larger enclosure. OSI satellite imagery from 1996-2000 shows the field under tillage and the enclosures are clearly visible as cropmarks on the 2006-2012 imagery.
