The National Monuments Service's description
On a low, flat-topped ridge (long-axis ENE-WSW), in improved gently undulating pasture, overlooking a turlough to NNE. The monument is depicted on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure bisected by a field boundary (long-axis NW-SE). It is depicted on the 25-inch OS map as an oval area (c. 30m E-W; c. 27m N-S) defined by a single enclosing element. Not visible at ground level. An ESB pole and stay are now sited on this low ridge, within the interior of the monument. A ringfort (CL035-119----) lies c. 380m to S.
