The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 100m from the NE shoreline of Lough Conn. This enclosure is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular rath-like enclosure, and on the 1930 edition as a hachured, subcircular enclosure within a wooded, fenced off area. It has been levelled. There is no visible trace at ground level, but the outline of a subcircular cropmark (31m E–W; 26m N–S) is visible in aerial views.
