The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing ridge below the summit of Curraghadobbin Hill, in pasture. The hill slope falls gradually immediately N of the ringfort and then sharply. A field boundary runs NE-SW along the S edge of the monument. A possible bivallate enclosure (TS079-025----) is located c. 150m to the NE. A raised circular area (diam. 31m NW-SE; 30m E-W) defined by a rounded bank (Wth 7.2m; int. H 0.3-0.55m; ext. H 2.56m) with a high stone content; a fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.35m) and an external bank (Wth 4.8m; H above ext. 1.1m). There is a gap through both banks in the E quadrant.
