The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A raised rectangular area (c. 48m NE-SW; c. 42m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-0.8m) with a partially infilled intervening fosse (Wth 3.5m; max. D 0.8m), and traces of an outer bank (Wth 4m; H 0.4m) at NW. At SW this bank has been modified and incorporated into the townland boundary. Elsewhere it has been levelled. At the W corner is a partially collapsed bastion (4.5m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE; H 0.6m) with evidence of wall-facing on its SE side. The original entrance is not recognisable.
