In pasture on the upper NE end of a broad ridge past which the Clydagh River flows S c. 70m to the E. Reported as a possible ringfort (SMR file). A roughly circular raised area (int. diam. 26m N-S) is defined by a curving scarp (H 0.8m at N – 2.8m at S) N-E-S. A later sunken trackway and earthen field boundary run NW–SE just outside the SW sector. The interior slopes gently to NE and E and appears featureless.  Date of visit: 11-2-2025 Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Leo Morahan
