The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as 'Garrynagran Fort' in gothic lettering on both. It is situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape. A length of grass-covered wall footing (C 22.5m; Wth 2.5m; max. H 0.45m) survives W-N, but the interior is now a grass-covered quarry.
