The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in what might be a hollow in a fairly level landscape. A circular grass-covered area (int. diam. c. 20m; ext. diam. c. 40m) defined by two slight fosses is visible faintly on aerial imagery, including Bing maps, MapGenie (2006 to 2012 and 2011-2013), and Google Earth (24/03/2017; 16/03/2021). It has not yet been inspected. It was first reported by M. O’Leary.
