The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1914 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the crest of a broad E-W drumlin ridge. This is a D-shaped overgrown area (dims 57m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7-1m) N-E-S, with a fosse (Wth of top 5m at E to 9m at N; ext. D 0.5m at N to 0.2m at E) N-E. It is bisected by a N-S field bank and townland boundary with Cloonakilly Beg and is not visible W of this feature in pasture, but the outline of a fosse feature (Wth c. 5-6m) and parts of an outer bank (Wth c. 5m) are visible on the digitalglobe image S-W-N (max. ext. diam. c. 85m N-S). There is no identifiable original entrance.
