Internal diam. c. 85m. A roughly circular area enclosed by a grass-grown collapsed stone wall in places up to 5m wide and 1m high but at others hardly perceptible. A field boundary cuts off the W side and beyond this the outline of the wall is very vague. There are several gaps but one at the SE could be original as it is lined with set stones. There are extensive surfaces of rock outcrop within the enclosure. Near the centre of the interior is the passage-tomb (DG070-074002-), a mound 21m in diameter and 3m high. The site is situated on the summit of Croaghan Hill, which it exploits, and it dominates an extensive area including the ancient territory of Magh Itha.
