The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating scrubland. This large subcircular enclosure (c. 80m NW-SE; c. 78m E-W) is defined by two poorly preserved banks and an intervening fosse from ENE to SSE;; elsewhere a low irregular scarp forms the enclosing element. However, the outline of the fosse is clearly visible the on OSI aerial photographs. The townland boundary cuts through the monument at N and SSE. A rath (GA106-050----) overlies its NE quadrant.
