In flat pasture, sloping very slightly to W. Donaghmore church (TS077-027----) clearly visible on crest of ridge to S. Ringfort (TS077-004----) visible c. 200m to S. Roughly square area (dims. 40m N-S; 37.7m E-W) enclosed by a bank which has been augmented by later field boundary (H above int. 0.65m; H above ext. 2.1m) and wide, flat-bottomed waterlogged fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 1.3m) with steep counterscarp. External face of N bank is very steep, truncated by cattle. Scrub growing on top of bank. Towards the N bank in the interior there is a low earthen mound (diam. 4.8m N-S; 5.2m E-W; H 0.4m). The E side of the monument is badly eroded, fosse no longer visible, it has been built up to form a laneway through the moated site, the former bank is just visible as a slight rise. The W side is intact, bank heavily overgrown and fosse waterlogged. Small area of quarrying into bank and interior along this side. S side there is some stone evident in bank construction, the counterscarp is augmented by a field boundary. Two cattle feeders are located in the NE quadrant on the slight rise formerly the E bank, resulting in further poaching in the interior.
