The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a rubble limestone wall. The wall is constructed using un-coursed, un-mortared limestone block facing with a small rubble fill between. From NE-E, the wall has been removed by the construction of a public roadway. A break in the wall (Wth 8m) at where only the footings remain may mark the position of the original entrance.
