On a S-facing slope, just off the crest of a ridge, in undulating pasture. Nicholastown Castle (TS082-043001-) is visible on a hill 1.5km to the SW. Neighbouring ringfort (TS082-018001-) lies 9.3m to the NW and ringfort (TS082-018003-) lies 34m to the S. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 36m N-S; c. 40m E-W), very dense scrub in interior with whitethorn around the bank. Bank (Wth 1.4-1.7m crest; 3.2m base; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.3m) of earth and stone. Gap (Wth 0.93m) in N quadrant appears to be broken through by cattle and another gap in the NW quadrant (Wth 1.3m) also appears to have been broken through. In the SW quadrant there has been some small scale quarrying, now covered by vegetation. The bank on the S side of the ringfort is heavily overgrown with brambles. A gap (Wth 1.5m) in the NE quadrant may be the original entrance. In the SE quadrant the bank has been levelled.
