The National Monuments Service's description
In flat poorly drained pasture on N side of the Clodiagh River in an upland region. The site consists of an irregular-shaped flat-topped earthen mound (H 2m; base dims. 20m NE-SW x 16m SE-NW) the top of which is defined by a scarp. The flat summit (diam. 12m NE-SW x 6m SE-NW) has a central depression (dims. D 0.3m; 1.7m x 1.3m) which may be an indication of a collapsed cist. Known locally as Quigley's fort.
