The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 280m S of Shanbally River, in pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 48m) visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. It appears to be an upstanding earthwork defined by an outer fosse. There has been some small scale quarrying into the SW edge of the enclosure and in the S portion of the interior there is an ESB pole. There is another enclosure (TS086-006----) c. 340m to the S.
