The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in unused ground, c. 20m W of the Limerick-Tralee railway line. It is depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) but only an arch of the enclosing element is shown on the 1924 OS 6-inch map. This arc (C. 8m N-S) is now obscured by dense scrub vegetation and builder's rubble.
