The National Monuments Service's description

On flat undulating pasture 70m from the townland boundary with Biddyford to the W. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The site description is based upon its illustration on the 1897 OS 25-inch map, on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. The NW half of the semi-circular enclosure survives above ground level incorporated within modern field boundaries (diam. c. 25m). The SE half of the enclosure has been removed as a surface monument and is likely to partially survive sub-surface only. The enclosure survives within two merging field boundaries and is under dense scrub woodland.
