The National Monuments Service's description
In a low-lying situation on the S bank of the W-E Ogulla stream at a point where it turns NE, and around the W and N slopes of a low grass-covered WNW-ESE ridge. An area of about 9 acres (c. 3.5 ha) contains earthen banks (Wth 2.2-4.2m; H 0.1-0.4m), sometimes accompanied by shallow silted drains (Wth c. 1-1.5m). Some large fields (dims c. 100m x 30-50m) are present, but there are also smaller rectangular fields (int. dims 24m x 10m). No house sites are visible and there is no evidence of lazy-bed cultivation.
