On a terrace of a SW-facing slope, in reclaimed pasture. There are very good views to the S and SW. On the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map a lime kiln and quarry are indicated abutting the N quadrant of the ringfort. On the 1900 revision 6-inch OS map there is no indication of the quarry and the monument is shown as a hachured roughly round enclosure (overall diam. c. 50m N-S; c. 48m E-W). It is described by O’Kelly (1969, 31) as a ‘double rath’, suggesting two banks. When inspected in 1987 the monument had been levelled during land reclamation works, however, traces of an outer bank (Wth 3m; H 0.3m) were discernible as well as a possible outer fosse, apparent in the E sector (Wth c. 2m).
