The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 47.6m N-S; 44.2m E-W) defined by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 4.2-7m; Wth of base 1.6-3m; int. D 0.9-1.1m; ext. D 0.1-0.2m). There is no identifiable original entrance, but the perimeter is damaged by quarrying at NE, and overgrown SE-SW. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank/townland boundary between Creevyquin on the W and Killeenboy on the E.
