The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, to the E of Killarney and c. 450m W of the Flesk River. A circular area (27m N-S; 26.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) with a flattened top, largely obscured by overgrowth and retained externally by a stone field wall E-WSW. There is a long slope on the internal face of the bank. The level interior is slightly raised and in pasture. The entrance (Wth 2.5m) is at E and there is also a break (Wth 1.2m) in the bank at ENE. A field boundary abuts the bank at SE.
