The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S bank of a W-E section of the River Boyne with the stream c. 250m to the N. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 15m) defined by a single fosse is visible on OSI aerial images (1995). It may be associated with other features and a fosse can be seen on the same image curving out from the perimeter at NE in an arc and returning at SE. It has been noted (Smyth 2009, 39) and was first brought to attention by Conor Brady.
