Located at the SW edge of the Tullyskeherny plateau. This is a grass covered circular area (diam. 24.8m E-W; 24.6m N-S) defined by a grass covered earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m). There is no visible fosse but the stone-lined entrance (Wth 3.1m) is at WNW, and the interior is bisected by an ENE-WSW field bank and drain.
