The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a ridge in rolling pasture with good views in all directions. Though depicted with hachures on the 1923 OS six-inch map, it appears from the 25-inch map that the pattern of hachures represent a terraced garden in front of Caherconlish House and not an ancient enclosure. The house and gardens are no longer evident.
