The National Monuments Service's description
In lowlying pasture, 170m SE of the Barnakyle River, 200m N of Elmpark House and 100m WNW of barrow (LI012-100----). This earthwork is not indicated on the 1840 OS 6-inch map or subsequent OS maps. The outline of a circular-shaped area (approx. dims. 30m N-S, 27m E-W) defined by a bank is clearly visible on both Digital Globe aerial photos taken 2011-2013 and Global Earth orthoimages taken in 2009 and 2018. Traces of a bank running NW-SE 7m to the N is also visible on these images.
