Situated on SW facing slope of hillock in undulating grassland with good views of Lough Derravaragh to NW. Gartlandstown House lies 390m to N. Ringfort (WM012-010----) 400m to SW, earthwork (WM012-013----) 340m to NE. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a small roughly circular-shaped enclosure planted with trees, annotated as a ‘fort’. Described in 1972 as a monument that has been almost completely levelled. All that survived are the poorly preserved remains of a raised sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 27m N-S; 29m E-W) which marks the site of the levelled 'fort'. No surface remains visible of monument on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
