The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 43.8m N-S; 41.6m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.8-6m; int. H 0.2m at E to 1.4m at W; ext. H 0.7m at E and W to 1.4m at N), with traces of inner facing-stones NNE-ENE. There is an overgrown outer fosse (Wth of top 5.6-7.8m; Wth of base 2.9-3.5m; D 0.9m) SSW-N-ENE which has been deepened into a pond NE-ENE, probably removing the holy well (RO023-095002-). There is a modernised entrance (Wth 4m) at SW and scrub from the interior has been cleared onto the perimeter. Rath (RO023-094----) is c. 125m to the NNW, and the possible rath (RO023-096----) is c. 200m to the SSE.
