On a marshy promontory on the S bank of the estuary of the Dunkellin River. Described by McCaffrey as a bivallate earthen fort (max. int. dims. c. 56m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by an inner bank (int. H c. 1.8m at N; ext. H 3.1m), intervening fosse (Wth 5.7m) and outer bank (Wth c. 2.4m; int. H c. 1.8m). On inspection in December 1982 only the inner bank (Wth 0.55m at top of bank at E; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.6) was visible. From N through E to S it fell to the edge of the river. From S through W to N it was very badly defaced and not clearly visible.
