In pasture on a slight N-facing slope with good to moderate views in all directions. The enclosure is located 240m E of the townland boundary with Castleroberts and 140m S of the townland boundary with Liskilly, enclosure (LI021-041----) lies 400m SW. The site is depicted as a circular enclosure abutting a N-S field boundary on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map and as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. 32m N-S; 30m E-W) with an external fosse on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. The N and W side of the ringfort have been incorporated into the surrounding field boundaries on the 1897 map. Inspected by ASI in 2000 and described as, a slightly raised D-shaped area (int. diam. 27m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a scarp and external fosse on the N, E and S sides (Wth 5.3m; D int. 0.4; ext. 0.2m). A field boundary, depicted on the on historic maps, runs from the SE-NW and defines the W side of the ringfort, it curves slightly around the monument. The external ditch is visible as a semi-circular earthwork adjacent to the modern field boundary on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
