The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a broad low hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). An entrance is not identified, but the large enclosure (ME030-044002-) is c. 30m to the WSW. It was first reported by Ciaran McDonnell. Archaeological testing (06E0293) by C. Duffy c. 100m to the N at the closest point produced no related material (excavation.ie 2006:1605).
