Cladh Thuradain is an enclosure 28m square, situated in a slight hollow within woodland. It is formed of banks or inward facing scarps 0.8m max. height. Parallel to and inside SW side of enclosure is a second bank, c14m long and 0.3m maximum height, but this does not appear to form remains of a building, nor is there any trace of a building in area. There are a few stones and boulders within enclosure but none appear to be inscribed or for that matter resemble gravestones in any way.
