Situated on a gentle E-facing slope, in pasture with good views overlooking Coosan Lough to E and S. Partially levelled monument described in 1971 and 1976 as a subcircular-shaped area (40.5m N-S; 37.5m E-W) enclosed by traces of a low earthen bank from W-N-E-S, which has been incorporated into a field boundary from S-W. There is no definite trace of an eternal fosse. A modern stone wall has been built against the scarp from ESE-S-W. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a gentle WNW-facing slope and Man-made underground passage (WM022-038001-) is located within the W quadrant.
