The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture overlooking Ballymeeny River to E. Raised square area (dim. 4m) defined by a low earth and stone scarp (H 0.45m). The scarp encloses the site on all sides. Probable entrance feature lies midway along the E side in the form of a slight ramp (Wth 1m) across the scarp.
