The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed grassland. Cropmark of roughly circular-shaped area (diam. c. 50m) defined by a ditch visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 16/03/2021. Faint outline of monument visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken between 2011-13. Cropmark of circular ring-ditch type features to N of earthwork. This feature may be a designed landscape feature associated with Kilcornan Lodge 180m to E rather than the remains of a prehistoric ring-ditch. The larger roughly circular shaped earthwork may be related to land reclamation of post-1700 date.
