On a broad flat ridge on ground sloping gently in every direction except to W, in pasture. Triangular-shaped enclosure (diam. 40m N-S; 42.2m E-W) surrounded by a stoney bank (Wth 1.2m crest, 3.7m base; int. H 0.39m; ext. H 2.3m), the outer face of which has been truncated and which falls steeply to the enclosing wide, deep fosse (Wth 6m; D 2.2m). The S quadrant is straight-sided, running E-W. The bank in the N quadrant forms a rounded point. There is some erosion of the outer face of the bank in the N and NE sector. The bank in the E quadrant has collapsed out for a length of 3m. A substantial field boundary runs concentrically with the enclosure on the W and S sides. There is no clearly defined entrance, however in the SE quadrant there is a low mound in the fosse which may have supported a bridge/drawbridge to the ringwork. This monument is depicted on Lyons (1937, 243, 248-9) map of Lisronagh, he mentions that the monument is called 'Lonergan's Fort' and was "probably originally sepulchral".
