The National Monuments Service's description
In improved wet pasture, 15m NE of a watercourse which also marks a townland boundary with Loughgur. Enclosures (LI032-070/305----) lie 6m to NE and 9m to N, respectively. Monument is not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 296.2: AP4/3605) as a curvilinear-shaped cropmark possibly representing the remains of a circular-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument is visible as a faint circular-shaped cropmark (diam. 22m) on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage 20/09/2020.
