In generally level pasture 175m E of a townland boundary with Boherroe. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork truncated by a farm track to S. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. 20m) defined by a scarp from SW-W-N-E-SSE best preserved (Wth 3.8m; H 0.9m) from SW-W-N-NE and levelled (Wth 1m; H 0.2m) from NE-E-SSE with possible entrance (overall Wth 6m; basal Wth 1.5m) at NW.

Monument is enclosed on all sides by field boundaries. According to local information it is known as a ‘moat’. Monument is enclosed in a small field and over-shadowed by field boundaries so it is not visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, or on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
