The Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments website describes it as follows: On the summit of a steep drumlin, the site is used as an extension of a farmyard. It is roughly circular, 32m N-S x 31m E-W. The interior & exterior of the site are level at S, with the bank 1.2m high internally & 1.5m high externally, but to N the bank is 0.5m internally & 2m above the ditch which on this side is 0.3m deep & 4m wide. There are 2 gaps in the bank, at NE &SE. The latter is 3.5m wide & probably marks the original entrance. The ditch, now only seen at N, may have originally surrounded the whole site.
