The National Monuments Service's description
On high ground with panoramic views W-ENE and ‘Crumlin Fort’ (CL004-032001-) standing immediately to SW, but overlooked by higher rocky ground E-S. The interior contains a souterrain (CL004-032002-) in the NW sector.
A circular area (est. diam. c. 30m) is defined by the very poorly preserved remains of a stony bank NNE-SE and by a later field wall between W and NW which may overlie an older enclosing element.
