The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight NE-SW ridge in a low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature was recorded in a pasture field in July 2018 using a drone-mounted camera. It has an entrance gap at E. It is also visible on the OSI aerial images (1995). Rath (LH007-192----) is c. 80m to the WSW, and the burials (LH007-187----) were discovered between the two.
