Just off summit of hill on SE facing slope in upland area in undulating countryside with good extensive views in all directions. Good view of Ballysheeda tower house (TS051-011----) c. 1.4km to N. Impressive raised square-shaped platform (dims. 37m SW-NW; 43m NW-NE) enclosed by a low poorly preserved bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.15m) reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-4m) in places with wide water-logged flat-bottomed outer fosse (Wth 3-5m; ext. D 1-3m) with no entrance feature visible. N half of platform appears to have been partially quarried away destroying part of interior, enclosing element and foose on N side of monument. SW angle of moated site is the best preserved where the scarp is at its highest and the fosse at its deepest. Interior slopes steeply from S to N which may be exaggerated due to quarrying.
