The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in an area of undulating pastureland. A number of earthworks were indicated on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSI AP, S 465/6) which consisted of a circular and rectangular enclosure (TN041-053003/002) respectively situated SW of 'Ballyvesta Fort' (TN041-053001) and a roughly rectangular enclosure (TN041-053004) with adjoined circular enclosure (TN041-053005) to SE. None of these sites are indicated on the OS 6-inch maps.
The circular enclosure (diam. 26m N-S; 26m E-W) immediately SW of Ballyvesta Fort is delimited by a very low earthen bank transected at E by a post and wire fence extending N-S along a corresponding ledge.
