The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, to the E of Farranfore railway junction. A roughly circular area (c. 19m WSW-ENE; c. 18m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m). The W sector is crossed by a NW-SE field boundary and drain. The perimeter is difficult to establish due to dense vegetation. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
