Overall Diam. 17m. A low earthen platform circular in plan. It stands on ground that slopes gently downwards from N to S and E to W and has been built up as required to make it level. The platform edge is c. 0.7m high close to the SE, SW and NW points and c. 0.3m on the NE. Around the perimeter there is an ill-defined and low raised edge which might be the remains of a levelled bank. A break in the perimeter about 3m wide on the SW from which an earthen ramp slopes to the ground outside might be an original entrance. The ringfort is on low-lying gently sloping ground overlooking the waters of Mulroy Bay c. 150m to the S in good grazing land.
