The National Monuments Service's description
Located in low-lying, gently undulating pasture, overlooked to the NE by Knockea Hill. Monument, depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m E-W; c. 25m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank with an external fosse. The enclosure has been levelled but is still evident as a sub-circular area (c. 20m SW-NE) defined E to SW by the remains of a levelled earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; Wth 1.9m; ext. H 0.1m).
