The ring-ditch is located within the NW quadrant of the Knockbrack ceremonial enclosure (DU004-012006-), c. 65m NW of the summit of the hill (H 586ft OD) where a barrow (DU004-0120067-) is located. The ring-ditch is clearly visible on Apple Maps (June 2018). It comprises a circular feature (ext. diam. c. 16m) defined by a ditch (Wth. <1m) that is clearly visible along the SE and NW perimeters in the above aerial imagery.
