Located at the NW end of a NW–SE rise in rolling average pasture. Killala Bay is visible to NE, the Ox Mountains define the far horizon to E–SE, and Nephin Mountain looms to SSW.
Slightly raised circular area (8m N–S; 8m E–W; H 0.35m) defined by a fosse (Wth 2.6m at N) with an external bank (Wth 2-2.4m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.55-0.7m at SSE). The perimeter of the central platform is well defined SW–NE, but elsewhere it is degraded and indistinct, merging with the fosse, and giving the impression that the central platform is set off-centre to NW within the ring of the outer bank. The outer bank is fairly compact and well-defined. The overall diameter is 17m.
There is a cross-inscribed stone (MA022-044001-) and an inscribed stone (MA022-044002-) in the same field 70m to NW.
