The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE) slightly truncated by a NE-SW field bank at SE. Situated on an undulating landscape with field walls, it is not visible at ground level in pasture but was probably a cashel.
