Depicted as hachured oval enclosure (c. 45m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; arc N->SE survives in field boundary (part of townland boundary) on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps, with Garrane House built on W half. Arc survives to E, formed by earthen bank (int. H 1.8m; ext. H 0.5m). May be single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 31yd) recorded by Bowman (1934, 334) on Thomas Carver's land, as 'practically levelled'.
