The National Monuments Service's description
Triangular shaped enclosure c 20m east of the Clashduff River, overlooking Adrigole Harbour. It is situated near the point where the better ground gives way to the steeper, rougher terrain of the Healy Pass. It is c15m in diameter and about half of the perimeter is made up of field stones put on edge and set radially with a possible entrance to the south. From west through to the north-east the perimeter is made up of a collection of very large, natural boulders which have been utilised in the creation of the enclosure.
