The National Monuments Service's description
On a low but prominent rise in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.3-0.5m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.2m). It is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field boundary, which marks the boundary between the two townlands. The much-larger portion, to the NW (in Kinkillew townland), has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
