The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a basin that extends north from Moynagh Lough, and which at one time would have been occupied by the lake. It is now the valley of a canalised NNW-SSE section of the River Dee, which is c. 50m to the E and Moynagh Lough is c. 200m to the SSW. A low grass-covered mound (dims 7.6m N-S; c. 4m E-W; H 0.1m) is kidney-shaped curving to the W at N and S. (Corlett 1997)
