The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of the S-facing slope at the SE end of a WNW-ESE ridge. Subcircular grass-covered but poached area (dims 27.1m N-S; 22.4m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.3-5m; int. H 0.1-0.6m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m) SW-N-E and by a scarp (H 0.6m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Raths (RO026-045001; RO026-045002-) are c. 90m to the NW and NNW, on the other side of the Castlerea - Dunmore road.
