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 (see SL040-192001-; SL040-192003-), none of which is indicated on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map (surveyed 1837). A circular area (int. diam. 8.2m x 7.75m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) and an external fosse (D 0.45m). One deciduous tree and the stump of five others are around the bank. These tree rings are likely to be of post-AD 1700 date.
