The National Monuments Service's description
On flat level grassland with good views in all directions. Within the poorly preserved remains of a circular enclosure or bawn (TS049-003001-) there are the wall-footings of long rectangular building (ext. dims. 6.5m NE-SW x 20m NW-SE; wall T 0.9m) running NW-SE off inner face of bank at NW. These could be the remains of an early medieval hall or a later fortified house with the enclosure acting as a bailey or bawn. The monument is depicted on OS 6-inch map as a mound enclosed by a fosse. Several years ago some bulldozing was carried out on site. The mound may have been the grassed over remains of collapsed rubble from the rectangular building, the wall-footings of which survived the partial land clearance.
