The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a rise, in gently undulating and hilly pasture. Monument described in 1971 as a roughly circular-shaped area (28m ENE-WSW; 26m NNW-SSE) defined by a poorly preserved scarp and external fosse visible from S-W-WNW. The much denuded scarp is slight and is almost completely levelled from NE-E-S. No clear entrance feature visible. The interior has a WSW-facing slope.
Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
