Situated on the lower S-facing slope of Ballincurra Hill. A circular area (diam. 34m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) and wide flat-bottomed outer fosse (Wth 1.6-3m; D 1.53m) which is best visible upslope to N, E and W but disappears towards S. The bank is reduced to a scarp along the S edge of the site, and is quite denuded in the W sector with no external fosse. No definite entrance visible.
