The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a fairly steep N-facing slope and on land which was once part of the demesne of Ballymore House. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a continuous fosse or drain is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There are traces of an outer fosse c. 3m distant SW-NW. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
