The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the NW shore of Derrykerrib lough in level, low pasture which at the time of inspection (2000) was extremely waterlogged. The monument comprises a grass-covered, steep-sided mound of earth and stone (dims. c.17m NNW-SSE; c.12m ENE-WSW-max H c1.1m). The top of the mound is relatively flat (dims. c. 14.5m x c.10.5m). The lower portion of the mound was encircled by up 0.3m in water.
