The National Monuments Service's description

Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This monument is roughly D-shaped on plan, the straight side being on the east and the curved portion to the west. The interior is a platform slightly raised above the field level. Surrounding it is a fosse. On the W. and N. W. it has been partially levelled. Some of the platform has been removed, the fosse filled up, and some of the material dumped outside in such a position that it now has the appearance of a short length of outer bank. The overall dimensions are 210' [64m] east to west and 168' [51m] north to south. It is called Cashel Mangan Fort on the O.S. map' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 224). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
