The National Monuments Service's description

On a very gentle E-facing slope with the Glennyreea River flowing c. 100m to E, in fairly flat terrain in reclaimed pasture. This ringfort has been levelled and is bisected by a field boundary. The W half of the monument (diam. 44m N--S; 25m E-W (to field boundary) is visible as a low curving bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.38m; ext. H 0.16m); with suggestion of a fosse (Wth 6.6m; D 0.48m) and possible outer bank (Wth 9.7m; ext. H 0.31). The E half of the enclosure is not visible above ground, it is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but had been levelled by the 1904-05 revision. The W half of the ringfort was levelled more recently, probably within the last twenty years.
