The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual N-facing lower slope of Carrigadoon hill, in rough pasture. A rectangular enclosure (diam. 40.8m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.23m; ext. H 0.8m). There is a spring pond on the E side of the enclosure, towards the E end, with a stream running N from this pond. There is no visible trace of an external fosse. There is a gap (Wth 2.4m) on the N side and another (Wth 7.5m) at the S end of the W side.
