Wide level area (Wth 5-7.6m) surrounds monument NW-N-SE corresponding to wide feature depicted on latest edition OS six-inch map NE-SE. Trackway flanks western side of monument SW-W-NW. Interior planted with coniferous trees and access not gained. Ringfort (TS070-029----) located 300m to N. On the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1840-41) the words 'Shanaclogh' are written below this monument which may suggest that this ringfort was associated with a castle.
