The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight SE-facing slope in a rough unreclaimed area S of Killone Lake (c. 350m to the N). A modern housing development lies immediately NW. A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 33m) visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and on Google Earth (19 January 2020) defined by the grassed-over remains of a double-faced wall, most visible at SE-W. The NW portion of the bank has been cut through by the rear wall of one of the houses. A house site (CL041-191----) lies in the NE sector. A number of adjacent field walls form a field system (CL041-192----). This and the field system (CL041-189----) NW of the modern houses are likely to originally have been connected.
