The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the broad rise at the S edge of the plateau of the Porch Field of Trim. The vegetation mark of a small enclosure (diam. c. 10m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is also visible on OSI images (1995). Archaeological testing (08E0510) by M. Seaver in this vicinity on the E side of the ring-road (excavations.ie 2008:991) produced evidence of the furrows of the porch-field (ME036-048054-) but no evidence of this feature.
