The National Monuments Service's description
At the bottom of a gentle SE-facing slope. Rectangular grass-covered platform (dims 30m NE-SW; 16-25m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.6m) on all sides except the NW where it merges into a slope. At the W angle a well is represented by a cairn (diam. c. 4m), and some field banks are attached to the perimeter. It is locally regarded as the site of an O'Conor castle.
