The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures (C c. 40m) N-E-S, and situated on a steep W-facing slope overlooking Grange Lough, c. 700m distant. Described in 1966 as an arc of an earthen bank and outer fosse (dim. c. 40m) N-E-S (SMR file). It is now a circular, dished and grass-covered area (diam. 38m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (H c. 0.3m) SW-NW and a scarp down to the interior (H 0.6m) NE-SE (upslope). The N limits cannot be traced and the perimeter at S is truncated by an E-W field bank.
