On slight S-facing slope, overlooking the Cahernahallia River valley to E with excellent views from E-S-W, overlooked by higher ground from W-N-E. Tree-ring (LI016-017----) lies 105m to NW. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure, with a trackway approx. 5m to E. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a slightly raised circular-shaped area (32m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank reduced to a scarp. The bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth 4.7m) is visible from NW-N-NE and the scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.6m) from NE-E-S-W-NW. The interior is level, having been cut into the upslope at N and raised on the S side to compensate for hillslope. A short portion of the scarp (Wth 4m) is low and eroded at SSE, indicating a possible entrance. Monument visible as a subcircular-shaped tree-planted earthwork on ASI aerial photos (ASIAP 354, 17) taken 2003, on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
