The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape with a N-S course of the Tolka River c. 50m to the W. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 10m) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) was recorded by Noel Meehan using a drone-mounted camera on 09/07/2018. It is bisected by a N-S field bank and is not visible W of that feature. The ring-ditch (ME051-019001-) is c. 55m to the ENE and enclosure (ME051-019----) is c. 70m to the NE. It is not recorded on any other maps or images.
