The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. The monument lay within the demense lands of Willowbrook House which is c.280m NW. It is depicted as a circular tree-covered enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1912 edition it is shown as a roughly D-shaped enclosure, without hachures, whose linear SW side (L 33m) forms part of the boundary between Willowbrook and Doonally townlands. The curvilinear part of the monument (max. dim. 21m) lay NE of this in Willowbrook townland. The much smaller portion, in Doonally townland which is clearly visible on the 1837 map, is not marked on this map. The monument is visible from aerial photography (GSI G33-4). According to local information this monument was levelled in the 1940s (SMR (1989) file) and there are no remains of it now visible at ground level. In all probability this was a tree-ring.
