Straddling the narrow top of a ridge in undulating pasture with views onto Knocknarea, the Dartry Plateau and the Ox Mountains.
A circular area (int. diam. 20.50m) enclosed by a wall (Wth c. 1.8m; H 0.4-0.6m) with a rubble core and remnants inner and outer facing. On the W side the enclosing wall has been incorporated into a later N–S field boundary, and a field wall also merges with the S edge of the enclosure. The entrance may have been in the SE, but is not clearly defined. A slightly sunken trackway (Wth 1.4m) flanked by walls (Wth 0.7m; H 0.55m), now ruined, cuts through the centre of interior on a N-S axis. Hazel and holly trees ring the perimeter, and hazel trees grow in the interior.
