The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise on a penninsula jutting into the W side of Ballisodare Bay. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified from aerial photography Slightly raised oval area (dims. c.33m NW-SE; c.25m NE-SW) defined from WSW-N-NNE by a curving field boundary which is probably an adaptation of the pre-existing bank of a rath or other enclosure. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
