The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise on a gentle N and E-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse is visible on Apple Maps which utilises a survey by Bluesky International conducted during July 2018. The ring-ditch (ME025—075----) is c. 100m to the E. It is also faintly visible on Google Earth (12/07/2013) and was first reported by Ros Ó Maoldúin.
