Situated on a gentle NW facing slope overlooked by nearby ridge to the SE, with good views to the W & N. Templeoran Church (WM011-099----) and graveyard (WM011-099001-) 600m to WSW. A raised sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 35m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a external slight fosse, an intervening space (Wth 5.5m) and an outer fosse. The inner fosse is best preserved from ESE-S-W. The outer fosse is only visible from E-S-SW. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 2.2m) at NE. The interior slopes slightly from NW-SE and has vague traces of broad cultivation ridges which run NW-SE. A rectangular mound (WM011-100001-) is visible in the interior which may be the remains of a collapsed house site. A field drain aligned NW-SE runs past the site at NE, possibly intersecting the outer fosse, while a field fence running NNW-SSE intersects the perimeter of the monument from SW-W.
