The National Monuments Service's description
This monument was inspected in 1978 and described as follows: 'On a low rise with good views over the surrounding pasture land. The small rather pear-shaped area (diam. 25.2m N-S; 28m E-W) is delimited by a steep scarp with slight remains of an earthen bank on its perimeter. There are slight traces of a surrounding fosse and a small counterscarp bank best preserved from SW-W. No indication of an entrance feature. The interior is level and has been planted with trees whilst the surrounding bank has thorn bushes' (SMR file). Monument is located 130m SW of Cloonagh House.
