Located in pasture at S end of a narrow, steep-sided N-S ridge, with excellent views in all directions. A rath (MA030-071----) is located c. 250m to ESE. This possible rath is depicted as a subcircular enclosure (diam. 35-40m) on the 1837 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled and there are no remains visible at ground level. According to local information, the centre of the enclosure was deeply quarried out, and this would appear to tally with the depiction on the 1930 OS 6-inch map of a roughly circular hollow in the E half of the interior; a shallow, roughly circular surface depression on the ridge top appears to mark the original location.
