The 1999 inventory recorded a slightly raised, dished circular grass-covered area measuring 46 metres north-south and 44.5 metres east-west on the wide, flat plain of the Cappagh valley. A one to 1.3-metre scarp defined the edge, while traces of an external fosse ran from southwest through north. No visible entrance appeared in that account.
