The National Monuments Service's description
On flat pasture 290m S of the townland boundary with Glenogra. Moated site (LI031-042----) 360m to E and ring-barrow (LI031-201---) 60m to NNE. The site is not depicted on OSi historic maps. The enclosure site is visible as uneven ground on the OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and is not visible on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 66: AP 4/3598) as two sides of a sub-rectangular enclosure (ext. dims. c. 35m E-W; 65m N-S). The north boundary of the enclosure is visible on the earliest Google Earth orthoimages taken 05/04/2006, however it is no longer visible on the most recent image taken 28/06/2018.
