On top of a flat-topped hill on the E side of the Dinin river valley, in rolling pasture. There are commanding views in all directions. Another ringfort (KK014-016----) is located c. 20m to the S. There is a tradition of a church (KK014-015001-) and graveyard (KK014-015002-) within the interior (Carrigan 1905, vol. 3, 458-9; O'Kelly 1985, 44). A roughly circular area (diam. c. 65m) defined by a much denuded stoney bank (int. H 0.65m; ext H 1.4m; overall Wth 4m; Wth at crest 2m), flattened V-shaped fosse (Wth 1.75m; D 1.7m), substantial outer bank (ext. H 1.4m; overall Wth 6m) and an almost entirely infilled outer fosse (Wth 5m). There is an original entrance (Wth 4-5m) through both banks at the NE and a modern entrance (Wth 2m) at the SE. The interior, which slopes towards the NE, is overgrown with scrub and partially planted in conifers.
