On top of a N-S ridge, on a N-facing slope of rising ground in upland area, overlooking the Cahernahallia river valley. A circular area (diam. 35m SE-NW; 30m E-W) enclosed by a low poorly preserved bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.1m) mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m); a fosse (Wth 1.8m; ext. D 0.3m) and an external bank (Top Wth 0.5-1m; base Wth 1.5m-2.4m; ext. H 0.7m) only visible from W to S. There is a modern gap (Wth 3m) in the bank at W and a possible original entrance gap (Wth 4.5m) at SW. In the centre of the interior there is a small quarry.
