The National Monuments Service's description
A linear earthwork is visible in Castleruby on aerial photographs (ACP: V206/8) running parallel with the stone wall and townland boundary with Tonroe. Situated on the crest of an E-W ridge, extending W from the ceremonial enclosure (RO027-022---). No feature is visible at ground level in pasture but the cropmark of two ditch-features placed c. 10m apart can be seen running ESE from the enclosure (total L c. 500m) on OSI images c. 2010.
