The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 35m NW-SE; 21.5m NE-SW) defined by a fosse (Wth of base 2-2.3m; int. D 0.2-0.3m; ext. D 0.2-0.3m) SE-W-NW, and a slight, but overgrown outer bank (Wth 1.6m; ext. H 0.1m) SE-W. It is bisected by a NW-SE field bank with a hedge, which is the townland boundary with Clare townland, but it does not survive NE of this feature. The remains of a field bank (Wth 1.3m; H 0.1m) crosses the fosse at SSW. but the original entrance is not identified.
