The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of a shelf which is towards the bottom of the S-facing slope of Kilronan Mountain. D-shaped grass-covered area with some bushes (dims 18.2m E-W; 17.7m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.2m E-S to 1.25m at N), which is revetted with stones at E. There is a fosse (Wth of top 4.3m; D 0.7m) and outer bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 0.2m) on the straight W side, but there is no visible entrance. A house site (RO002-019001-) (int. dims. 5.7m E-W; 4.5m N-S) in the interior is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.1-0.2m), but it is open at the E side. The monument is unplanted within a coniferous forest (OSAP).
