Situated on a natural rise in undulating grassland with good views over Lough Owel 230m to SW. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as an oval shaped earthwork with circular feature in centre and annotated as ‘fort’. The depiction of this monument on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map may suggest that this was the site of a burial site or possible ring barrow rather than that of a ringfort. No surface remains visible of levelled monument. Visible as a circular crop mark (approx. diam. 22m N-S) on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 19 February 2018

A possible Neolithic or early Bronze Age passage tomb, later misinterpreted as a fort; its original function and wider significance remain unclear due to lack of excavation or detailed investigation.
