The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a drumlin. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 17m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m) E-S and a scarp (H 0.2m to 0.7m at NW) elsewhere, but the perimeter at NE is obscured by spoil. A back-filled fosse is visible as a band of wet ground (Wth 2-3m) E-SE and at NW. There is no visible entrance and a NW-SE field bank bisects the interior. Rath (RO007-074----) is c. 150m to the NW and rath (RO007-075----) is c. 120m to the NNE.
