The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.32m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.7m). No fosse visible. The scarped edge encloses the site NW-SW. The site is defined by a steep scarp (ext H 2-3m) overlooking a public roadway that skirts the site SW-NW. Benbulbin School abuts the external base of the scarped edge at E. An E-W orientated drystone bisects the site. Original entrance not recognisable.
