The National Monuments Service's description
The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (OSAP: 1995), but the perimeter NE-SE has been removed by a NNW-SSE road boundary. This monument is located in the field known locally as 'The 21'. (Pers comm Colin Byrne)
