The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a low ridge in pastureland. This subcircular area (dims. 9m N-S; 7.8m E-W) is defined by an irregularly edged earthen scarp (Wth 0.65m; H 0.45m) with evidence of external stone kerbing in places. The scarp has been straightened all around for short lengths. The interior is uneven with slight dips in places. An ESB pole stands 4m to the NW.
