The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just NW of the summit of a broad low hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 55-60m) is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018), although the fosse appears to be very slight E-S-W. An entrance is not identified, but a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 20m E-W) is attached to the E. Both the enclosure and its annexe are within a large enclosure (diam. c. 130m E-W; c. 120m N-S) defined by a fosse feature, with an additional outer fosse W-N-ESE. The large enclosure has entrances through both fosses at WNW. The large enclosure is c. 250m ESE of enclosure (ME030-043----) and the enclosure (ME030-045----) is. c. 30m to the ENE. It was first reported by Ciaran McDonnell.
