A subcircular area (DG073-031001-) enclosed by a partially collapsed stone wall except on the N and NE sides where the natural slope may have precluded the need for a wall. The wall survives up to 2.38m in height to the SW. There is a definite entrance to the SSW. This entrance has been deliberately blocked by the building of a rectangular structure 2.4m E-W × 1.5m N-S. The site is located on top of a knoll in an exposed but naturally defended position. There is pasture and arable land nearby and Loughros Beg Bay is to the N.
