The National Monuments Service's description
Prominently sited on leading W edge of a terrace of rough grazing at the SW foot of Gleninagh Mountain overlooking the Caher Valley and River. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m) is hachured on the 1842 and indicated 1915 OS 6-inch maps. On inspection in 1997 there were no visible remains at ground level.
