The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a ridge with a fall of ground to N–NE. Ground also falls towards Lough Caldragh which is c. 100m to S.
Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. An ephemeral oval undulation (c. 16m N–S; c. 26m E–W) can be traced at ground level, possibly a levelled enclosure. The ground surface is uneven, and the remains are very indistinct.
