OSi 6-inch map and is later depicted as an embanked enclosure on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map (ext. dims. c. 50m N-S; 50m E-W), no fosse is depicted on the map. Annotated ‘Ballynookan Fort' on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map. The ringfort is not visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12. On the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 the site is covered by a linear woodland that runs along the E bank of the river. The enclosure is not visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020 due to dense tree coverage.
