The National Monuments Service's description

This enclosure is situated in pasture on a S facing slope above the Glencullen River. This site comprises a circular sloped area (int. diam. 18.5m) defined by a low, wide bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2m; H 0.9-1.2m) revetted with larger boulders against its inner face. There are a number of irregular granite boulders in the interior. The enclosing bank is truncated in the E by a field boundary wall. There is a narrow opening in the W (Wth 1.6m). There is a passage tomb close-by to the N (DU026-042001)(Healy 1975, 1-19)
