In pasture, the N, W and SE side of the monument form the townland boundary with Dollas Lower. The ringfort is one of a series of enclosures (LI030-055/116/058/061----) in an E-W alignment within the townland between 250m and 400m apart. The site is depicted as an enclosure on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map on the summit of a low hill and is later depicted as a scarped enclosure (ext. dims. c. 67m N-S; 72m E-W) surrounded by a fosse on the W and SW side. The ringfort is visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 as a ringfort surrounded by a fosse with the N, W and SE side incorporated into the modern field boundary. The enclosure is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020. A small circular feature is depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map 75m W of the ringfort (LI030-055----), the enclosure appears on aerial orthoimages and may be the remains of a ring-barrow or a natural pond feature.
