The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, 80m NW of the Cork-Dublin railway line. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 146, AP 5/2125) as a sub-circular cropmark of a possible enclosure. Trace of monument visible as a sunken circular shaped area (diam. c. 6m) intersected at N by a relic post-1700 field boundary on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.
See attached Bruff photograph labelled 146 and Google Earth orthoimages.
