Fort No. 2 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 fort seems to have had two concentric stone banks between which there was a rockcut fosse. Both banks are now very collapsed and the entrance is not recognisable. On the south side a modern wall has been built over the outer bank. Running N.W.—S.E., across the central enclosed space and dividing it equally, is what seems to be a collapsed stone wall. The overall diameter of the monument is 135' [41m]. These two forts (LI032-086-/085-] are the centre of complex of ancient fields, the fences of which run in various directions over the hill '(O'Kelly 1942-3, 171). Outline of monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
