The National Monuments Service's description
In flat pasture, 220m SE of the Camoge River, within a field system possibly contemporaneous with Greybridge House located 210m to NNW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified from an examination of aerial photographs (OSi 1/10,000 No. 45; BGE 1/5000 No. 2503) of the region prior to the construction of the Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline (Map 6, Site 6/22). Cropmark visible as a circular-shaped area (dims. c. 22m E-W) transected at NE by a linear feature on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017 and 20/09/2020. Rectilinear field system in fields adjacent to enclosure appear to radiate outwards from Greybridge House and may be contemporaneous with this building.
