The National Monuments Service's description
A field system radiates from a subcircular enclosure in a natural level platform on the N slopes of Kilmashogue mountain. This impressive enclosure (int. diam. c. 60m) is defined by a drystone-built wall (Wth 2m; H 1m). The interior has uneven stony areas. Aerial photographic coverage of the site indicates a central internal enclosure (OS Flight 9, 2271). There is an opening in the NW. Field walls radiate from the enclosure at the NE, SSE, SSW and W and across the main field system running NW-SE (Cooney 1985, 28-30).
