The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope on the E shore of Figh Lough, an amorphous bog lake (dims c. 900m NW-SE; c. 200m NE-SW). Circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.7; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m) and fosse (Wth of base 2.3m; D 0.4m) SW-NW and by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 5.7m; D 0.7m) at E, but the perimeter and much of the interior has been quarried NW-NE and ESE-SW. The causeway (Wth 3m) survives at ENE.
