On reclaimed flat pasture adjacent to the S bank of the River Maigue. Depicted as a D-shaped field enclosure on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as an embanked D-shaped fort (ext. diam. c. 26m NE-SW; 29m NW-SE) backing onto the River Maigue with a curving ditch and external bank (Wth. 8m; L. 45m) to the SW. The site is not visible on either the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 or on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. The monument is partially visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 16/03/2016; 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020. The siting is not typical for ringfort in County Limerick and has parallels with LI006-001----.
