The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The vegetation mark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 35-38m) in pasture is defined by a fosse feature, with an outer fosse traceable c. 5m distant E-S-SW (ext. diam. c. 60m). It is only visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018), and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
