Situated on the top of a prominent small hillock, surrounded by gently undulating grassland with extensive views from N-E-S. The site is located in a field annotated as 'Shankill' on the 1837 ed. OS -inch map. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular-shaped enclosure annotated as ‘Track of fort’, and depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular shaped enclosure. According to local information there was a stone covering a ‘cavity’ in the N quadrant of the ringfort (WM011-081----) and that there was a local belief that this land was owned by monks at one time (pers. comm. 18/10/1972). The 'cavity' possibly represents the existence of a possible souterrain inside the levelled ringfort.
