The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope at the bottom of a severe NE-facing slope of Mullaghcreigha Hill. Described in 1970 as a circular area defined by a slight bank and outer fosse (Wth c. 4m; int. D c. 1.8m; ext. D c. 0.9m) (SMR file). It is now visible as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 43m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by slight traces of a fosse (Wth 3m; max. D 0.3m) S-W-NNE and a band of rushes (Wth c. 3m) elsewhere.
