The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on flat grassland in an area of wet marshy land in parkland on Carrickglass Demesne. Depicted as a sub-rectangular area defined by trees on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is not depicted on the latest edition. Present remains consist of a circular area (int. diam. 38m NW-SE, 29m SW-NE) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 2m, int. H 0.2m, ext. H 0.4m) and external fosse (Wth 1.4m, ext. D 0.3m) with no entrance feature visible. Its location on parkland in Carrickglass Demesne and its representation on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map would suggest that this earthwork is a designed landscape feature associated with Carrickglass House.
