The National Monuments Service's description

In improved pasture, on an E-facing slope. Enclosures (TS062-107---- and TS062-108----) are located c. 300m to NE and c. 250m to SW respectively. It is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m) with a townland boundary running roughly E-W along the S edge and is not shown on the 2nd 1903-04 ed. though there is a slight kink in the townland boundary indicating the S bank of the enclosure. The enclosure had been levelled when visited by Cahill (1982). It is not visible at ground level.
