On the summit of a hillock in pastureland overlooking bogland to SW. Poorly preserved almost circular enclosure (E-W 32.5m, N-S 31.5m) defined by a scarp. A field boundary overlies the monument from N to NE. A small circular earthen mound (D 2.8m) occupies the interior. It is believed to be the grave of 'King Turlouch' (Killanin and Duignan 1967, 267). Dunmore Castle (GA017-069----) lies c. 250m to E. (Neary 1914, 116, no. 65; Knox 1918, 90)
