The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a high hill affording panoramic views in all directions. The River Moy is 100m to E. The circular round topped summit of the hill (diam. 62.7m) is delimited by an artificial scarp (H 1m at WNW, 2.4m at E). The scarp has been incorporated into a field boundary at N−NE and SSE−WSW. The ground level rises from the perimeter to the centre where there is a mound (MA060-040001-).
