The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the NW-facing slope of a slight NE-SW spur of Ballydonigan Hill, the summit of which is c. 1.5 km to the ENE. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) with some trees defined by a scarp SW–NE with portion of a bank at NE. A vegetation change (Wth at SW: 5.5m) at the base of the scarp may indicate a silted fosse but the site is truncated by a NE-SW road at SE. There is no visible evidence of a church (WX020-005001-) at ground level but a bullaun stone (WX020-005003-) was at the centre of the enclosure.
