On a knoll in low-lying pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 23m) defined by a scarp with vague traces of an external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF019-049
