The National Monuments Service's description
On summit of hill, overlooking Ballyglass Lough to N. Reconstructed after excavation. Circular mound (diam. 8.5m N-S; H 1.4m), proved upon excavation (Hencken 1935, 75-82) to be enclosed by fosse (D 0.5m), levelled E to ESE, and external earthen bank SSE to NNE, with break (Wth 1m) in NW. Erection of stone fence probably led to site disturbance on E. Contained burials (MA100-071002-).
The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 41.
