The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the E bank of Rose Brook, a tributary of the Mulkear River, on a gentle S-facing slope in poorly-drained pasture. The monument is by scrub vegetation but is evident as a sub-circular area (c. 23m N-S), enclosed by an earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.2m; Wth 2m; ext. H 0.35m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) from NW to SSE, and by a scarped edge along the stream's edge from SSE to NW. The bank is heavily eroded.
