The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB90.BZ.13) shows cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. This is one of three adjacent enclosures. It is plough-levelled. First recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1990. It is located in low-lying tillage overlooking Carlingford Lough and the Cooley Mountains. The field falls away to the NE. There is no visible trace.
