The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 250m W of townland boundary with Ballyrow Lower. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area or platform defined by a scarp. Not marked on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map which suggests that the earthwork was levelled between these map dates. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimages.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
