Situated on a marked SE-facing slope in forestry. Roughly circular area (dims. 61m E-W; 70m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.9-1.5m) and external fosse (Wth 3.8-4.5m; D 1-1.5m) with an outer bank (Wth 2m; H 1m) at the S. A low stone bank extending E-W divides the site in half; the S portion of the interior is higher than the surrounding ground. No indication of an entrance. There are foundations of two drystone structures (dims. 5m x 5m, and 4m x 5m) in the NW quadrant. To the N of these there is a D-shaped area defined by a steep scarp (H 0.8-1m) topped with a stone bank and a smaller rectangular area also defined by a stone bank. A pillar stone (H 0.76m) bearing the ogham inscription 'VOTI was found in the bank by Mr L. Price (Macalister 1945, 54).
