The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the E-facing slope of Moydow Hill. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 40.3m NW-SE; 39.2m NE-SW) defined by an earth and stone bank (at WSW: Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.4m) with outer facing-stones intermittently visible SSE-WNW, a drystone field wall built on the base of a wall with inner facing-stones (at NNW: Wth 1.7m) WNW-NNE, and a low scarp (H 0.2m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but there is a quarry at the centre and the interior is overlain by a NW-SE field wall and townland boundary, the ground to the E in Farbreagues being reclaimed pasture. Cashel (RO042-164002-) is immediately to the NE and cut by the perimeter of this monument.
