The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB89.E.19) shows the cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure (int. diam. c. 60m) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 4-5m); the enclosure is bisected by a modern NE-SW field boundary and mill-race, and is not visible in pasture SE of this feature. It is also visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It was also photographed by Noel and Conor Murphy in July 2018.
