The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the summit of a broad hill. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 3-5m) is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018). It would have been in view of Rogerstown House, which was c. 250m to the W, and it may have been a tree-ring. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
