Ringfort described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of a circular platform on the edge of which there is a bank of stone, earth, and gravel. Outside this there was a fosse. There was an outer bank surrounding the whole. This was mainly of stone and remains for about two thirds of the circumference. The entrance is not recognisable. The fort is densely overgrown. The overall diameter is 165' [50m]' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 244). Cropmark of levelled ringfort visible today on Digital Globe aerial coverage. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 9 March 2020
