The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere. Visible on MapGenie Imagery (2013-18; https://webapps.geohive.ie/mapviewer/index.html; accessed 26-1-2023) as a D-shaped enclosure (est. diam. c. 45m NW-SE) with a straight SE side (est. L c. 40m), defined by a scarp and a possible outer fosse. A disused trackway, or a levelled field boundary, appears to overlie the SE limits of the site and continues on towards the NE. A possible enclosure (RO038-046----) lies c.230m to the W.
