The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a small circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 8m) defined by a continuous fosse is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It is in the NW quadrant of rath (ME028-091001-), and was first reported by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds but was also identified by Noel Meehan.
