The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A curvilinear concentric enclosure (inner enclosure diam. c. 45m N-S; c. 50m E-W; outer enclosure 105m N-S; 110m E-W) which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps satellite imagery; OSI ortho satellite imagery, 2004-2006), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The outer enclosure kinks inward slightly in the S sector. A townland boundary runs NW-SE along the W perimeter of the outer enclosure and the N sector of the outer enclosure is transected by a field boundary running ENE-WSW. There is another enclosure (KK031-105----), also visible as a cropmark, c. 180m to the NE.
