The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope, in improved pasture and 90m to NW of a townland boundary with Garrison. Depicted as a tree-planted enclosure and not as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the revised 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork with ‘Keating’s Well’ 4m to SW. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a circular-shaped area (21m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (Wth 7.65m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.05m). There are cattle breaches (Wth 3.4m and Wth 4m) at N and NE respectively and the interior has a gentle E-facing slope. Immediately outside the monument, a broad drain is visible from S-SW, (as depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map) which merges with and narrow drain that continues from SW-W-NNW. A subrectangular-shaped plot housing a local authority water supply station abuts the drain to W. Undulations to E and SE of the monument appear to be caused by natural fluvial activity. Monument is visible as a circular-shaped earthwork on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-201, and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
See attached sketch plan and cross-section surveyed and drawn by the ASI in 2008 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
