The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (ACAP: V227/29-30), and situated on a slight SE-facing slope in a low-lying landscape, c. 150m S of the Boyle river. Rectangular grass and rush-covered area (dims. 34m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.7m) with a slight external fosse or ditch visible as a band of rushes (Wth 2m) at the E and S sides, and by a hedge at the W and N. It is probably a small field.
