Located on a SE-facing slope overlooking Carrickevy Lough (max. dims c. 450m NE-SW; c. 240m NW-SE), which is c. 100m to the SE. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. dima. 25.5m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a steep-sided and round-topped earthen bank (at SW: Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.6m; max. ext. H 1.8m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 1m) SE-S, and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.3m generally to 7m at SW; D 0.25m). The original entrance is not identified. There is a local tradition of an underground tunnel, possibly a souterrain, in the same field.
See the attached aerial view taken from the SW.
