Situated on the SE facing slope near top of a hill with excellent views to the NW, N & NE. Monument overlooked by Mullaghmeen Hill to the ESE. Ringforts (WM001-010----; WM001-009----) 250m and 260m to S and SW respectively. Roughly circular area (diam. 26m E-W; 27m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank poorly preserved from NW-N-E-SE with slight traces of an external fosse. No entrance feature visible. The S quadrant of the ringfort interior is best preserved area. Post 1700 field boundary running N-S intersects W side of site. Second field boundary running N-S also intersects perimeter of monument E side. The interior of the ringfort slopes from W-E. The S perimeter of the monument is intersected by a stone wall & shallow fosse which forms part of a post-1700 field boundary. The ringfort appears to have enclosed on all sides by a earth and stone field boundary wall of probable post-1700 date.
