The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a prominent rise or spur, in an area of sharply undulating terrain. Views are good, especially to S and NW, but not extensive.
Raised broadly oval area (21.5m E−W; 25.5m N−S) defined by a scarp (Wth slope 3.5m; ext. H 1.5m at N, 2.3m at S). An area (Wth c. 3m) of ramp-like slump in the scarp at SE may be the location of an original entrance.
Grass cover, with some hawthorn and blackthorn bushes on the perimeter. Field clearance boulders have been piled along the top of the scarp on the S arc. A possible burial mound (MA040-047----) is located 100m to SSE and there is a rath (MA040-047----), both visible from this location.
