The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Monument described in 1978 as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank and external fosse with possible entrance gap at S. The low wide bank is of earth and stone and forms a townland boundary with Killeagh and also serves as barony boundary from ENE-E-SE. The fosse is best preserved from NW-N-NE and is poorly preserved elsewhere. The interior is uneven with stony outcrops and is largely obscured by dense vegetation.
