The National Monuments Service's description
On a relatively flat terrace, on the S-facing slopes of Brandon Hill, c. 85m NE of the River Clodiagh source which eventually flows into the River Nore. A circular enclosure (diam. 10m) identified by Séamus Ó Murchú (Ó Murchú 2016). It may be a pre-bog enclosure as it is largely covered by blanket peat, with only the tops of the stones protruding above it (ibid.). A sub-rectangular structure (KK029-045----) is located c. 45m to the N.
