The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture 40m N of a stream with boundary of Knockderk townland 65m to E. Depicted on OSi 25-inch map as a circular-shaped area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a bank with external ditch only indicated from N-E-SE. Surveyed by the ASI in 2007 and described as a circular-shaped area (diam. 22m) defined by a low eroded bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) with external fosse (Wth 6.2m; D 0.2m) and outer bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.15m) only visible from NW-ESE and from S-SW. A raised oval-shaped area (dims. 6m NW-SE, 5m NE-SW) is visible slightly off centre to E, could be the remains of a possible hut site. A break (Wth 12m) in the bank and fosse at W appears to be a modern feature. Drainage ditches 16.6m W and 10m E of monument. Clearly visible as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank on OSi orthophotos 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 28/06/2018.
