The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a long narrow prominent ridge running NNE-SSW, surrounded by hills. The field fence which forms the townland boundary with Taghmon lies 60m to W. An oval-shaped area (approx. diam. 24m NE-SW) enclosed by a slight earth and stone bank and a shallow external fosse visible from NNE-E. Possible entrance at SW. The perimeter has been partly dug away at E and SE. The interior is uneven due to quarrying.
See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
