On a moderate SE-facing slope, in pasture with good views from E-SSE and panoramic views SSE-S-W. Hilltop enclosure or royal fort of Lisgorey (LI007-002----) 170m to N. Depicted on the OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure. Described by Lynch (1932, 42-3) as a 'small earthen fort'. Monument levelled in the 1960s when field boundary to W was removed. Site visited by the ASI in 1999 and described as a slightly raised circular-shaped area (20m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.25m). The interior has a SE-facing slope. Irregular undulations to N of site appears to be rock outcrop. Visible as a faint cropmark on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
