The National Monuments Service's description

In wet pasture, 265m S of Glenatrahaun Stream and the townland boundary with Ballynagally. A ring-barrow (LI024-064----) lies 55m to N and an enclosure (LI024-214----) is located abutting the enclosure to the W. The enclosure is not depicted on historic OSi maps but is faintly visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 or on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 30.3; AP 4/3631) as a U-shaped enclosure (ext. diam. c. 22m). Faintly visible on the ASI aerial photographic survey 23/08/2000 (ASIAP (132) 33). The enclosure is not visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.

See attached Bruff survey image showing the site labelled Bruff 30.1-2, ASI survey image showing the enclosure view S, and Google Earth orthoimages
