The National Monuments Service's description
In lowlying pasture, possible enclosure (LI012-119001----) 90m to E, enclosure (LI012-020----) 127m to SSE. Identified by Celie O’Rahilly during field survey in 1991 and described as following; ‘Situated on low grazing ground. Located at the northern extremity of the area, close to the Limerick-Foynes road. A series of low stone and earthen banks. One of these appears to be an old trackway running parallel to the road just inside the boundary wall. A small lake to the west of these has been divided by a causeway and may be a continuation of the track’. This possible trackway is visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 29/03/2012.
