The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture 180m W of a road that marks the townland boundary with Garryncahera. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Monument is visible as a roughly circular-shaped area defined by trees from SW-N-SE on aerial photograph (ASIAP (332) 26, 27) taken 05/10/2002. Visible as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 19m) defined by trees from SW-N-SE with a circular-shaped cropmark (diam. c. 6m) in S quadrant of interior on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020. Circular-shaped cropmark in S quadrant could be the remains of a hut site. Uncertain about antiquity of earthwork could be a tree-ring of post-1700 date.
See attached Google Earth orthoimage and ASIAP aerial photographs.
