The National Monuments Service's description
At the NE edge of a ridge, running E-W, in rolling pastureland. Knocknagapple church (TS086-030----), also known as Templetenny, lies c. 600m to SW. A roughly sub-rectangular area (diam. 42.5m N-S; 37.5m E--W) defined by scarp, except in the NW sector where there is evidence of a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 2.76m). The scarp is particularly steep in the N and E (H 3.1m), with a lesser drop to S; the W side is easily accessible (scarp H 0.3m). The natural ridge appears to have been modified to form this ringwork. The interior is grass covered and otherwise free of vegetation.
