The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in pasture, c. 220m N of Knockacunag Lake. The ploughed out remains of a subrectangular enclosure (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) abutting a field boundary at NE and defined by a bank and fosse are visible on a Google Earth image, taken 5 February 2009, and accessed 9 March 2015. While no enclosure is marked on the OS maps the field boundary indicated at this location retains the shape of the NE portion of the site. A ringfort (CL043-045----) lies c. 220m to the NW.
