In pasture, 110m E of townland boundary with Rosstemple, 280m S of a prehistoric house and metal working site (LI031-216001/002-), excavated on route of Bord Gáis Éireann Limerick gas Pipeline in 2002 (Grogan et. al. 2007). Tullerboy House (LI031-088----) lies 160 m to E and an enclosure (LI031-086----) lies 215m to SW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised roughly oval-shaped area (dims. c. 28m N-S x 37m E-W) defined by a scarp with external fosse and entrance gap at E. The depiction of the fosse with a double line may suggest a water-filled moat. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey recorded this monument as one of 'two forts' in the townland (OSNB Athlacca Parish, 140). Monument visible as sub-circular shaped area enclosed by a tree-covered fosse on the OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 14/09/2019. Possible ringfort that has been redesigned as a landscape feature associated with Tullerboy House.
