The National Monuments Service's description

In level pasture with a stream immediately to SW, which forms the townland boundary with Newtown North. Annotated ‘Rathnagallee’ and depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 35m) standing immediately N of a stream which marks the meeting point of two townland boundaries. Surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as no surface remains visible. Spoil has been dumped in this area, possibly from building of sheds to ESE. Levelled monument not visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
