The National Monuments Service's description
On the upper, SE-facing slope of Dunmurry Hill (OD 769 feet) some 40m SSE of a mound (KD022-001003-) and 10m SSE of a second possible hut site (KD022-001004-), all contained in a hillfort (KD022-001001-). A shallow, circular depression (diam. 5m; D 0.4m) is defined by a low scarp along the E and W, by the rising hillslope along the N, and by a gentle counter-scarp along the S.
