The National Monuments Service's description
In gentle undulating pasture on a slight SE-facing slope, immediately E of railway line, 40m S of the townland boundary with Ballybronoge North. No surface remains visible. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular shaped tree planted enclosure (approx. diam. 40m). Not marked on subsequent OS editions, likely that monument was levelled between the map dates. No surface remains visible of levelled monument on Google Earth orthoimage taken 14/02/2020. Possible levelled ringfort.
