The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise of ground, on N face of a long low E-W ridge. Monument difficult to examine due to dense cover of trees and bushes. Roughly circular-shaped area defined by a low earthen bank with external fosse. No visible entrance feature. Depicted as a tree plantation and not as antiquity, on the 1818 Boyd Belvedere Map of Kilbrennan townland (WCL/M/BBE/6).
