The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Natural ground level falls away steeply to the W of the site. Circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank may represent the line of a robbed out cashel wall as there are modern drystone field walls in the vicinity. An E-W orientated drystone field wall abuts the external side of the bank at NNW. The original entrance is not recognisable. A small disused roughly circular quarry (diam. 4m; D 0.4m) is located immediately inside the bank at WNW.
