National Monument No. 598. On top of a drumlin ridge in upland area overlooking Lough Gowna to the E. A raised circular area (diam. 46m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.8-6m; H 0.5-0.9m) at NE and from SSE-S-WSW, and elsewhere defined by a scarp (1.2-2m) with a wide, deep intervening fosse (Wth 6.7m; D 0.85-1.5m) and a very wide, high outer bank (Wth 8.5m; H 1.9m). The outer face of the latter has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A break (Wth 4m) in the inner bank at SSE may mark the original entrance. There is a spring well at E.
