In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (38.5m N-S; 39.2m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.45m); silted-up external fosse evident to N and NW. Gap in bank to N (Wth 3m). Interior raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. Field fence (H 1.45m), outside and concentric with bank, to ENE; Ó Ríordáin suggests "there are traces of a second outer rampart" (1933, 64).
