On slightly elevated flat pasture with good views in all directions. A slight hollow depression and low surface undulations may indicate the location of this levelled ringfort which otherwise is not visible at ground level. It was described as a ringfort in 1958 by the OPW (OPW Correspondence file), then as a circular enclosure in 1975, enclosed by a single bank and ditch and situated on a sloping ridge (Cahill 1975). In 1989 it is described as an enclosure measuring 100m in diameter inside which there is a small heap of stones possibly a cairn (diam. 7m) and a bullaun stone (TS43-031002-) with 3 hollow depressions (McCormack 1989, 13). The ringfort appears to have been levelled between 1989 and 2003, possibly when the landowner constructed sheds and a farmyard to the rear of a farmhouse, which are not marked on the 1973 aerial photograph.
