On a SW-facing slope. There are very good views of Kilkenny city to the E. A small, slightly raised, circular area (int. diam. c. 32m) enclosed by a denuded earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.1m; Wth c. 5m), with traces of a shallow outer fosse visible from W-N-S. The bank is heavily overgrown with trees and brambles. There is a relatively recent gap through the bank in the S sector. A quarry, indicated on both the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1945-6 revision, abutted the S-SE edge of the monument. It has subsequently been infilled, however, upcast from the quarry appears to augment the bank material in this sector. A public road runs NE-SW past the NW quadrant.
