The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 54.23m NE-SW; 44.5m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (at SW: Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.5m) E-N-W (upslope) which is reduced to a scarp (at NE: H 1.25m) elsewhere. There are slight traces of a fosse ENE-ESE, SE-SSE and NW-NNW, and the only entrance (Wth 3.2m) is at W. It is besected by a NW-SE field wall. Rath (RO042-094001-) and cashel (RO042-094002-) are c. 155m to the W.
