The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW-facing slope of a rise between Oakport Lough, c. 130m to the NW, and Coothall Lough, c. 100m to the SE. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 36.5m E-W; 34.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.2m generally to 0.9m at N; ext. H 0.4-0.45m) W-N-E and a scarp (H 0.8m generally to 1.3m at S) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Archaeological testing (06E0294) along the roadside c. 50m to the SE produced no archaeological material (Delaney 2009a).
