On a SE-facing slope in a valley, in pasture. The medieval church of Tullaroan (KK018-032001-) is located c. 100m to the E. The field where this monument is located is named as ‘Moat Field’ on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map and the monument was known locally as ‘the moat’ (Carrigan 1905, vol. 3, 495). A flat-topped raised circular ringfort (diam. at top 28m; H 4-6m), being higher in the SW sector as dictated by the natural slope. There is a raised entrance in the E quadrant (Wth 3m). A depression (dims. 11m N-S; 9m E-W; D 2m) at the W side is possibly a result of landscaping, as immediately in front of the depression, at the edge of the slope of the ringfort, there is a tree-planted windbreak. There are some mature trees growing in the interior. The raised nature of this monument and its close proximity to the medieval church suggests that this may be a ringwork rather than a ringfort.
