Situated on a slight rise, in relatively low-lying, rough pasture, with a stream to the immediate E and S, restricted views of the surrounding landscape. Annotated 'fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a very small circular-shaped enclosure. Depicted on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a small circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1971 as no surface remains visible. The site would have been suitable for a fulachta fia. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
