The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of a gentle N-facing slope overlooking what was Lower Lough Gara, but which is now reclaimed pasture. D-shaped grass-covered platform (dims 27.4m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m at S to 0.9m at N) SE-W-NE. There is no visible fosse or entrance, and the monument is truncated by a N-S field bank at E.
