The National Monuments Service's description
On wet poorly drained land that has been panted with modern coniferous plantation, adjacent to the townland boundary with Wooddown. Circular-shaped possible enclosure visible on Google Maps as a circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 90m) defined by a ring of trees forming a circular shaped enclosing element in modern forestry plantation. No archaeological monument or enclosure visible on any edition of the historic OSi maps or on any aerial imagery. Uncertain about the antiquity of this feature.
