What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope in improved pasture: field boundaries shown abutting the monument NW-N-E on the current ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map have been levelled, whins removed from the monument are piled to the SW and the monument is freshly grass-seeded. A slightly raised (H 0.5m) subcircular area (diam. 20.6m E-W; 17.5m N-S) is defined by a wide shallow fosse (Wth 3.2m at E-5.7m at N; D 0.2m). there is no obvious trace of an outer bank, but the local land improvement works may have resulted in its levelling?

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KD033-004
