The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of the steep S-facing slope in the valley of a SW-NE section of the Devlin River, with the stream c. 60m to the SE. The cropmarks of an enclosure with a ring-ditch just outside it to the NE are visible on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 22/07/2021. The ring-ditch (int. diam. c. 10m) is defined by a wide fosse, and an outer fosse encompasses the enclosure and the ring-ditch on the SE side, but the N side unclear. It is also visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021).
