The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in an undulating landscape. The faint cropmark of a subcircular or heart-shaped enclosure (dims c. 65m NW-SE; c. 60m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-4m) is visible on Google Earth (17/12/2013). It straddles the townland boundary between Nicholastown to the N and Reaghstown, and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
