Situated on a slight natural rise on reclaimed grassland with restricted views. Stream forming townland boundary with Archerstown 50m to N. Ringfort (WM008-068---) 330m to WSW. Ringfort (WM008-069---) 320m to SW. A raised sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 22m NNE-SSW; 21m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two poorly preserved earthen banks and an intervening narrow flat-bottomed fosse. The inner bank has several disturbance gaps, while the outer bank is visible only from ENE-E-S. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.2m) and causeway (Wth 5.3m; H 0.35m) across the fosse at SE. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running E-W across the interior of the monument. The interior rises slightly towards the centre. Ringfort appears to be standing in NE quadrant of larger enclosure defined by an irregular shaped fosse or ditch feature visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. This latter feature may be a drainage ditch related to post-1700 land reclamation works.
