Situated on grassland with Lough Derravaragh 65m to NNE, levelled ringfort (WM007-039----) 160m to SSW. Depicted as a grove of trees and not as an antiquity on all editions of the Ordnance Survey six inch maps. On the 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map the possible monument is depicted as a roughly oval-shaped grove of trees with field boundaries intersecting the site at SSW, W and N. However the 1837 Ordnance Survey Field Name Books (No. 42, 4) recorded that in this townland there were '3 ancient forts' (WM007-039----/040----). The grove of trees marked on the six-inch map was believed to be one of the '3 ancient forts'. No surface remains visible of levelled earthwork or of the intersecting field boundaries on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
