The National Monuments Service's description
In a forestry plantation, situated in level, poorly drained land adjacent to the NE bank of the Easky River. Depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15-20m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and not shown on the 1913 edition. Dense tree cover impeded an inspection in 1993 and no trace of this possible enclosure was found.
