Situated on top of a low natural hillock with good views to S and SW, with stream 65m to NW. Ringfort (WM006-025----) 415m to ENE and possible souterrain (WM003-013001-) 170m to SW. A rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 20m N-S ; 28m E-W) enclosed by a low poorly preserved earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp with traces of an external fosse visible at W only. No entrance feature visible. The interior is uneven, rising towards the centre. There may have been a house or other features in the centre of the earthwork, however this area is somewhat disturbed and cannot be properly deciphered now. Earthwork now covered in trees and scrub vegetation as clearly shown on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011, Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 December 2016
