Fort No. 1 (LI032-085----) described in 1943 as following; 'These three forts [LI032-087-/086-085-] are situated on the highest ridge of a hill which rises to 371' [113m] OD. The forts are in a straight line and close beside one another. The most easterly of the three [LI032-087----], which was in existence at the time of the first O.S. has now completely disappeared as result of quarrying operations. This is the more easterly of the two remaining forts [LI032-086----] and consists of a single stone rampart now very collapsed. It is not possible to say on which side the entrance was. In the centre of the enclosed space is a small low semi-circular bank 20' [6m] in diameter, which may be a hut foundation. The overall diameter of the fort is 125' [38m] (O'Kelly 1942-3, 171). Outline of monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
