The National Monuments Service's description
In average pasture, located on a slight rise in gently undulating terrain bordered to W–NW by an extensive tract of bog. Carrowkeribly Lough is c. 450m to S.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly D-shaped embanked enclosure, truncated at NW and NE by field boundaries, and on the 1930 map as an oblong enclosure (c. 35-40m NE–SW; c. 25m NW–SE) bordered at NW and W by a field boundary. OPW Topographic Files record that it was levelled during land reclamation in late 1975 or early 1976 (SMR file). There is no above ground trace. A faint circular cropmark (diam. c. 35m) is visible in current aerial views.
