The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on slight E facing slope, 200m S of enclosure (LI012-053----) and 264m E of the townland boundary with Faha Demesne. Partially levelled monument depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as an oval shaped area (approx. diam. 43m NW-SE) defined by a scarp. Depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a sub-circular shaped area (approx. int. diam. 30m E-W; ext. 43m NW-SE) enclosed by a bank (Wth 8m), incorporated into post 1700 field boundary at SSW. A field boundary intersects the site at SSW to W and a lane intersects bank at SSW to SSE. Google Earth orthoimage taken 2019 shows partial remains of the monument still visible today, S of farmyard, as a sub-circular shaped area defined by overgrown enclosing element from N through E to S and remains of field boundary along the line of enclosing element from SSW to W. The enclosure is bisected by a driveway leading to farmyard immediately to N.
