The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in the corner of a field in pasture-land. Lough Derravaragh 400m to W. The N & E sides of this possible enclosure have been levelled, and a modern dwelling house built on the E side. This appears to have been a rectangular field of post-1700 date. It is not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps.
