The National Monuments Service's description
Flat pasture to the east of a stream which serves as the townland boundary between Clontinteen and Croughal. Found as part of an assessment of a nearby tree felling licence application. Possible ringfort reused as a tree-ring in the post-1700 period. Depicted as a designed-landscape feature and not as an antiquity on the first edition of the OSi six-inch map.
