The National Monuments Service's description
Classified as 'Enclosure' in SMR (1989) manual and 1995 RMP (1995). It was re-classified based on the fact that it is depicted as an antiquity on the OS 1st edition of the 6-inch map and as a hachured D-shaped enclosure of ringfort size on the latest (1913) edition. Located in flat to undulating pasture with views onto Ballysadare Bay. This overgrown site comprises a raised area (H 1m) possibly enclosed by a stone wall indiacted by the presence ofa number of contiguous stones around the base.
