The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture. Not marked on the 1924 ed. OSi 6-inch map but identified as a potential monument on 1/5,000 aerial photograph during preliminary archaeological work on the N20 Limerick South Ring Road (OS 2, 2910) where it was described as the cropmark of a 'small semi-circular feature against W side of field fence' (SMR). There was no evident trace of such a feature when the site was inspected.
