The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the W facing slope of Mountpeliar. An aerial photograph taken in 1963 (CUCAP, AIG 75) shows traces of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a low earthen bank with a field boundary cut across the eastern half of the site. It has since been planted with trees leaving no visible trace above ground (Healy 1961, 124).
