The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 80m E-W; c. 50m N-S) truncated at N by an E-W field bank and townland boundary with Ardnagowna on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight E-facing slope. Described as a semicircular area (diam. 77m E-W) defined by a gapped earthen bank E-S-W and an E-W field wall at N, with a causeway entrance (Wth 2m) at E (Gannon 1972). It is not now visible at ground level in pasture, although a fosse is visible on OSI images (2005). Rath (RO016-133----) is c. 200m to the SW.
