The National Monuments Service's description
A large single banked fort 120 feet (c. 36.5m) in diameter with its entrance at the West was recorded on Matthew Shea's land in 1942 (MCKFC vol. 1, 303). A sketch in the above reference shows that it was surrounded by a ring of evenly spaced stones. It had an open souterrain in its interior. Its precise location is not known.
