The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, c. 250m E of a bend in the River Suir, with streams and an area of wet land immediately W of the enclosure. A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 50m) visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The S edge of the enclosure appears to be slightly truncated by a deep plough furrow which gives the appearance of straight side. Knockgraffon motte and bailey (KK075-019001-) lies c. 250m to the E and Knockgraffon church and graveyard (KK075-019003- and KK075-019004-) lie c. 380m to the NE.
