The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, bracken-covered pasture, located at the base of a steep N-facing slope overlooking Lough Mask. Indicated on the 1838 and the 1920 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This enclosure consists of a D-shaped area (int. 13m E-W; 8m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.4m; H 0.6-1.1m). A field inspection determined that it is most likely to be an enclosure for farm stock associated with a 19th-century settlement.
