The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope on a small rise at the base of Ballyganner Hill and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). A large suboval area (69.5m N-S; 53.4m E-W, crest to crest) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4.6-7.5m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 0.7-2m). Wall-facing is visible at NW (L c. 10m) and NNE (L c. 10m) and comprises large stones (L 1m; Wth 0.5m; H 0.4m). These sections of wall appear straight, likely due to the size of the enclosure. An enclosure (CL016-189----) occupies the S interior and three possible hut sites abut the inside of the perimeter at NW (CL016-190----) and SSW (CL016-191----) and W (CL016-192----).
