In rough, rocky upland pasture, located on a grassy terrace backed on the S side by a steeply rising slope, broken by rock-outcropping. Ground falls away to NW and N in a series of rough, rocky terraces, and a narrow rocky ravine c. 100m to NW leads W down to the cliff-edged shoreline. Lough Free is located c. 500m to W. A high ridge, Dunmore Hill, rises to N. There is a spring/stream 10m to NW.
Low circular platform (13m NW−SE; 12m NE−SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m at NE−E; 0.6m SW−W) topped by remnants of a stone bank/wall. The platform is built up on the W half to compensate for the natural fall of ground and create a level interior. The enclosing wall (Wth 1.2−1.4m) consists merely of intermittent stones barely protruding from the sod, representing the inner and outer kerb of the wall. There are relict cultivation ridges on the terrace surrounding the enclosure.
