Situated on a rise in pasture, with a gently fall of ground for c. 40m to E to the Dunowla River is c. 40m E. Raised circular area (42.5m N-S; 41.4m E-W) enclosed at NNW-S by a very low bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) which may have been faced with stone. At SSW-NW the bank is incorporated into, or replaced by field fence which marks the boundary between Dunowla and Doonbeakin townlands. At the outer foot of the bank at ENE-SE there is a terrace (Wth 2.5-3m) in the slope of the naturally-occurring rise, bordered on its outer edge at SE by a short length of bank (L 6m; Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.85m). These features may represent remnants of a fosse and external bank. Within the interior, which slopes down from centre to E, are two possible houses (SL018-021002-; SL018-021003-) and a possible hut site (SL018-021004-).
