The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on the S-facing slope of a low hillock overlooking flat landscape to the S, 1.2km SE of the Camoge River and the townland boundary with Drominycarra. Enclosure lies 270m SE of an enclosure (LI031-178002-) and within a relic field system (LI031-226----). Not depicted on historic OSi maps. It is faintly visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 but not on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 34.02: AP 4/3644) as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m). The enclosure consists of a central circular area surrounded by a fosse (Wth. c. 5m). The site is faintly visible on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 16/03/2016 and is not visible on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/09/2020.
