Semi-circular enclosure visible on aerial photograph (GSIAP S341-2, R1/1). On gentle N facing slope at the foot of the Dranagh Mountains with good views to the N. NW side is defined by a steep scarp and remainder defined by a ruined stone wall (diam. c. 46m; H c. 1m; Wth c. 2.5m). Not certain if this is an archaeological monument.

A semi-circular early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to the 6th–10th centuries, situated on a north-facing slope near the Dranagh Mountains. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy dwellings, and they were often avoided due to beliefs in supernatural inhabitants.
