Situated in woodland immediately N of townland boundary with Lisnabin Castle (WM020-085----) 300m to W. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork (dims. 31m WSW-ENE; 25m NNW-SSE). Referred to by Adams (1960) as ‘Packenham’s Fort’ and ‘Cup and Saucer’. Monument described in 1970 as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a poorly preserved bank and wide, shallow outer fosse. The bank has been quarried away on the NNE and appears to have been steepened on the interior and exterior in relatively modern times. There is a gap at SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. Monument is visible as a suboval-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
