In grassland on top of a low rise of ground at the foothills of the Slieveardagh hills with good views in all directions. A poorly preserved ringfort, the interior of which has been quarried (Wth 7m; 25m L) into at the N and NW quadrants. Originally the monument consisted of a circular area (int. diam. 32m NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (base Wth 5m; top Wth 2m; ext. H 1m ; int. H 0.4m) and external fosse (base Wth 1m; top Wth 2m;ext. D 0.2m) with a possible outer bank only visible at the NW. The enclosing bank of earth and stone is best preserved at the E and SW, elsewhere it has been reduced to a scarp. A large gap (Wth 7m) in the bank at the N which may be the remains of old quarrying. In the NW quadrant the enclosing fosse and bank is covered in field clearance debris. A lot of small stones are visible in the bank construction. A field boundary intersects the monument from N to NE.
