Located in the NW quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (MA093-014001-). Slightly raised circular area (27.6m E–W) defined E–NW by a low scarp (H 0.5m). The scarp has been levelled on the N arc, so that it is almost flush with the surrounding ground level of the ecclesiastical enclosure. At NE–E the enclosing scarp merges with a low sod-covered bank (Wth 2m; H 0.1-0.6m) that extends 20m beyond the ringfort, crossing the interior of the ecclesiastical enclosure to NE.
The ringfort interior is level and grassy. Located slightly E of centre, is a low, sod-covered rise (4.7m E–W; c. 4m N–S; H 0.3m), irregular in plan, of unknown significance. Another sod-covered rise (2m E–W; 1.5m N–S; H 0.4m) abuts the enclosing scarp at E.
On the 1916 OS 6-inch map the interior of the ringfort is marked with a cross symbol, annotated ‘Kildunagha (Site of)’, perhaps suggesting the site of a church (MA093-014004-). There is a children’s burial ground (MA093-014002-) and a bullaun stone (MA093-014003-) 14m to E of the ringfort, also within the bounds of the ecclesiastical enclosure.
