The National Monuments Service's description
On flat poorly drained land, in pasture with a nearby stream 30m to the W. The enclosure is depicted on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map as roughly circular (map dims. c. 45m N-S; c. 48m E-W). A sketch plan and section of the monument from the 1950s shows a roughly circular area enclosed by a bank (OPW files). It is described as a levelled enclosure in 1982 (Cahill 1982) and is visible on an aerial photograph as a circular cropmark (ASIAP 38 10-12). It is not visible at ground level.
