On a hill summit in undulating pastureland, overlooking Lough Rea c. 1km to the W. Aerial reconnaissance in October 1984 (ASGAP 193:37a, 38a) revealed a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (115m N-S; 100m E-W) defined by a low bank from NE through E to SSE and elsewhere by the natural scarp of the hill. A number of field boundaries running NNE-SSW, cut across the monument and another extends from its centre and runs in a WNW direction. The foundations of a circular hut site (GA105-205001-) occupy the centre of the monument, while the remains of a possible house (GA105-205002-) are visible in the S sector. A rath (GA105-080----) lies c. 70m to the E.
