The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. This enclosure is recorded on the 1929 OS 6-inch map and also in an aerial photograph (BDT 47; SMR file) as a subcircular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a wall. At S-NNW the enclosing wall serves as the townland boundary and is extant. The enclosing wall at N-SSE has been levelled. Earthworks (LS118-037002-), which were visible in the same aerial photograph in the fields surrounding the enclosure, have also been levelled (Lavelle 1994, 55, no. 389).
