The National Monuments Service's description
Near the foot of a short, gentle W-facing pasture slope overlooking poor, wet, rough grazing to the W. Comprises the SE-half (NE-S-SW) of a large, poorly preserved, probably originally circular area (diam c. 90m), defined by a broad, curving, earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.5m) NE-E-SE, which is hedged as a townland boundary NE-E, and by a curving roadside wall SE-S-SW. A graveyard (KD018-006002-) occupies most of the E half of the interior and contains a church (KD018-006001-) in its S sector.
