The National Monuments Service's description
Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) as 'Tree Ring'. In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a drumlin on the demesne of Drumdoney. This is one of a group of three tree-rings (SL040-192002-; SL040-192003-) none of which is indicated on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map (surveyed 1837). A circular area (int. diam. 7.6m x 7.5m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.3m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 0.9m) and an external fosse (D 0.2m). The interior slopes down to W. A deciduous tree was planted at each of the cardinal points; only stumps of these remain at N and W. These tree rings are likely to be of post-AD 1700 date.
