The National Monuments Service's description

A roughly D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W), the E side appearing to be straight. Identified on open source TII lidar by Muiris Wade, 31 October 2021. Though the monument is not indicated on any edition of the 6-inch OS maps, a field boundary on the 1st (1840-41) ed. map kinks westward where the W side of the enclosure is located, indicating that it was respecting an existing feature. By the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map this field boundary had been removed. The monument is not visible at ground level.
