On a low ridge c. 250m E of the Derreen River, a tributary of the River Slaney, in mixed tillage and pasture. Notified by Mr Jean-Charles Caillere and visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (21-7-2021), and on MapGenie aerial imagery (2004-2006), as the cropmark of a circular area (est. diam. c. 18m). Subsurface archaeological deposits may survive intact. Also visible in the same aerial imagery is a second enclosure (WI037-034----) c. 20m to the SSW, with a burial mound (WI037-001----) c. 13m beyond that again to the SSW, while only c. 10m to the NNE, a standing stone (WI037-028----) is visible. Combined, the four monuments comprise a significant archaeological presence on a short length of ground (L c. 140m).
