The National Monuments Service's description
'Located in undulating land at the eastern extent of the Sliabh Mis, this site affords good views of the Stacks Mountains to the north and of the low-lying land running towards Castleisland and Farranfore to the east. The site was noted on colour aerial photography where it clearly shows up as a dark circular enclosure. There is no trace of the site at ground level and the approximate diameter of the site is 18m.'
