Situated on a prominent hillock, with commanding views in all directions. Medieval parish church of Killulagh (WM013-057---) which may have been built on an early Christian monastery founded by St. Lonán lies 325m to NE. Mound barrow (WM013-056----) 155m to NNW. A steam which forms the townland boundary lies 40m to the W and NW, and the field fence which forms the townland boundary with Williamstown intersects the E side of the site.
A raised circular shaped platform (approx. diam. 35m NE-SW at base; 19m NE-SW at top) with dished interior defined by an earth and stone bank, the base of the hill is enclosed by a shallow fosse with external earth and stone bank. The top of the platform/mound has a dished profile (approx. diam. 15m NE-SW) and is enclosed by a very poorly preserved earth and stone bank. There is a gap (Wth 1.9m) in the bank at NNE and a narrow path down the side of the embankment, possible livestock gap of recent origin. Classification of moument is uncertain, could be the remains of a platform ringfort or Anglo-Norman ringwork.
