The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. Remains of roughly circular area (map diam. 15m) defined by slight traces of levelled bank reduced to scarp (Wth 3m; 1.35) well preserved ENE-E-S. Fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 1.1m) NE-E-SW and trace of in-filled fosse SW-W-N-NE. Intervening bank (Wth 6.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 2.55m) incorporated into earth and stone field boundary ENE-E-S, which serves as townland division between Killerk North and Jossestown. Four separate depressions along SE exterior are disused quarries. Interior generally level, heavily overgrown and largely inaccessible due to recent dumping of fir trees. Cahill (1982) describes this monument as levelled. Enclosure (TS070-091----) located 150m to NNW and ringfort (TS070-094----) located 150m to SE.
