Monument described in 1943 as following; 'This fort on plan is shaped like the long section of an egg, that is, oval with one end broad and the other narrow. It consists of a fosse inside which is a bank. The latter bears traces of a stone facing on the outside. The interior is a level space higher than the field outside. The entrance is near the broad end on the east side. There is a sloping causeway leading out across the fosse. Running north-south across the northern half of the interior is a very collapsed stone wall. Length 156' [47.5m]. Max. width 126' [38.4m] overall' (O'Kelly 1943, 226).
Described by Doody (2008, 131) as a 'oval enclosure, c. 50m x 40m'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
