The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 120m W of the River Suir, in pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 14m) defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery date 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The enclosure is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a tree-ring within the demesne of Castlepark House (later Mantlehill House) which was located c. 90m to the W. This feature may have been an enclosure which was subsequently utilised as a tree-ring or it could have been created as a tree-ring within Castlepark House demesne.
