The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad NW-SE drumlin ridge and described as 'Liswilliam' on the 1837 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 62.5m NE-SW; 60m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m) NW-SE, and by a slight scarp (H 0.2m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse but the entrance (Wth 2.5m) is at NE. The site is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and hedge, and barely survives SW of this feature.
