The National Monuments Service's description
On top of rock outcrop on W face of Killough Hill which has commanding views to N and W, in pasture. Part of the enclosure has been disturbed by a quarry located immediately to the E. The monument consists of a poorly preserved circular area (int. diam 37m N-S; 34m E-W; overall diam. c. 43m E-W) enclosed by a low bank (base Wth. 5m; top Wth. 1.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp. The bank is only visible from SE through S to W, elsewhere the enclosure is defined by a scarp. There is a quarry located in the S quadrant of the enclosure.
