The National Monuments Service's description
On an undulating landscape of the Rathcroghan plateau. A slight hollow (Wth c. 3m; D c. 0.2m) can be seen intermittently bisecting ceremonial enclosure (RO021-042011-) on the S side of a WNW-ESE field wall. It has been suggested (Knox 1914a, 6 map) that it connected with the roadway (RO022-057021-) c. 1km to the E through the short section (RO022-057078-) c. 500m to the E.
