The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in parched pasture on what might be a rise in a fairly level landscape. The vegetation mark of a small enclosure (int. diam. c. 5-7m) defined by a wide fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is also visible on OSI images (1995), and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
