The National Monuments Service's description

On a SE-facing slope of Gortmore Hill overlooking Turaheen river valley in an upland region. Enclosure was inaccessible due to its location in a Coillte conifer plantation. The monument is visible as an enclosure on aerial photographs (GSI R 359/8, 16/04/74). An inspection in 1994 described this monument as an enclosure (diam. C.50m) defined by a low bank (Wth c. 3-4m; H 0.5m) and shallow external fosse (Wth 3-4m) which is tangential with roadside level along the S quadrant and remains of the external bank are visible along the SE sector. The enclosure had been recently shallow ploughed and planted with conifers and a new forest access road constructed to the SE of monument.
