The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-S ridge in undulating terrain. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère, incorporates a medieval church (TS068-030----) in the SW quadrant. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 83) c. 1840, 'Its graveyard is now a potatoe garden'. This circular enclosure, defined by a fosse, may be the associated graveyard. Also visible on the satellite imagery is a possible larger outer curvilinear enclosure (TS068-030002-) which may be an ecclesiastical enclosure.
