The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m), and situated on a S-facing slope in an area with field walls. It is not visible at ground level in pasture but was probably a cashel. The cashel (RO048-128----) is c. 130m to the NW and cashel (RO048-130----) is c. 180m to the ESE.
