The National Monuments Service's description

In average pasture in undulating limestone terrain, abutting a field wall (MA093-007005-) to NE of a cashel (MA093-007001-).
This enclosure was recorded in 1984 (SMR file) but subsequently destroyed during land reclamation in late 1980's/early 1990's. It was described as a small rectangular enclosure (6m N–S, 5.5m E–W) outlined by a low bank of stones and earth. The SW and SE corners of the enclosure intersected with short projections from a curving field wall (MA093-007005-) that connects at SW with the enclosing wall of the cashel (MA093-007001-).
No trace of this enclosure is now evident at ground level.
