The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a single fosse feature but with no visible entrance is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The interior might have been quarried at some time and there is an annexe, visible as a crescent-shaped enclosure (max. dims c. 60m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE), attached to the SE. Enclosure (ME030-042----) is c. 90m to the WSE and the large enclosure (ME030-044002-) is c. 250m to the ESE. It was first reported by Ciaran McDonnell.
