The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Kilcooly Abbey (TS043-034001-) lies c. 400m to the NW. There are several enclosures in the vicinity including TS043-034008- 195m to the NNW, TS043-034009- 240m to the NW, TS043-034015- 284m to the NW, TS043-034016- c. 300m to the NE. An aerial photograph (GB89.AD.12) shows the cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. Though this monument has been levelled it is visible as a roughly circular low rise (diam. 24m N-S; 21m E-W).
