The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the N-facing slope of Saggart Hill at a point known as Knockaniller. Shown on the 1843 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. This site lay to the SW of the passage tombs at Knockaniller (DU024-005001-, DU024-005002-). Kilbride-Jones (ITA Survey 1939) described it as a raised, perfectly flat-topped, circular platform, surrounded by a circular fosse which was uninterrupted (diam.28m; H 0.95m). The area has been planted with trees leaving no visible trace at ground level. (Healy 1975, 1-19).
