The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an oval hachured feature (dims c. 60m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) with trees, and located on an oval hillock (dims c. 60m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW; H c. 5m) in a low-lying position on an undulating landscape. A band of lush vegetation (Wth 3-5m) all around the base of the hillock which has the cairn (RO022-084001-) indicates the fosse of an enclosure. It may have been a tree-ring and Cloonyquin House is c. 600m to the NW.
