Situated on N facing slope of a ridge in grassland, to the N of a farm yard, overlooking Ballynafid Lake 360m to NW. Ringfort (WM012-091----) 155m to E. An unusually large circular shaped area (approx. diam. 54m N-S; 47m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse. The bank has been levelled from NE-E-SE, and the outer face of the bank has been lined with dry-stone walling from SSE-SSW. The external fosse is visible from SSW-NW. A large hay barn has been built in the SE quadrant of the interior, and a wide trackway crosses the interior E-W, cutting through the enclosing bank at W, where a gate has been erected. The interior slopes gently towards N.
