The National Monuments Service's description
On wet, low-lying ground in pasture. A raised almost square area (c. 24m NW-SE; c. 23m NE-SW), with rounded corners, enclosed by a partially denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6m; H 0.35m) with a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.3m). The bank is truncated along the SE side by a NE-SW hedgerow. The fosse has been largely infilled along the SW, NW and NE sides. The original entrance is not recognisable. Ardanragh castle (LF024-005----) is located c. 700m to the ESE.
