The National Monuments Service's description
On rough mountainous terrain on the S slopes of Knocknagantee, on the E bank of a tributary of the Sneem river. A rough stone-built wall KE090-006----, .7m wide, encloses a subcircular area 4m x 3.3m. A scatter of stone abuts the base of the wall externally. A small rectangular enclosure (KE090-006001-) abuts the site at N and measures 2.1m x 3.8m internally.
