The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough grassland immediately E of Clorane House. Outline of large roughly square-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 120m N-S x 150m E-W) visible on Google Earth photographs taken 05/02/2009. The irregularity or imprecise nature of the defining feature casts some doubt about the antiquity of this feature although the cultivation ridges contained within this enclosure appear to respect the enclosing element.
See attached Google earth aerial photograph showing outline of enclosure.
