The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 43.2m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.45m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 4.1m; D 0.3m). It is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NW-SE field boundary, which also marks the townland boundary. The portion to the SW, in Lissaghanedan townland, has been largely levelled and is occupied by a farmhouse, a septic tank and drains. The original entrance is not recognisable.
