The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight NE-SW rise between the W shore of Lady’s Island Lough and a small inlet of the lake at W. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 15m E-W) defined by a single ditch feature S-W-N is visible on aerial photographs (MM (44) 19-21). It is truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at E and is not visible on the E side of this feature. The cropmark of a wide drain extends W from the perimeter towards the edge of the inlet of Lady’s Island Lake, which is c. 100m distant. Rath (WX053-086002-) is c. 140m to the S.
