What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a W-facing slope overlooking Glenasmole with magnificent views of the coast and surrounding mountain peaks. A ringfort comprises a hollowed, roughly circular area (int. dims.9m E-W; 14m N-S) which is defined by a drystone wall (Wth 3.2m; H 0.8m). The wall has a boulder core and traces of an inner and outer stone facing. The N side of the site is truncated by an avenue which itself is defined by a bank, ledge and scarp in the slope.
