The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a rise in an undulating landscape with rock outcrop. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) was first noted by G. F. Mitchell in 1990 and is visible on OSI aerial images (1995). It was brought to attention again by Conor Brady and is traceable on the ground as a grass-covered area defined by a slight earthen bank (H c. 0.2m).
