Situated on a very slight N-facing slope, in pasture with good views to NW and N. Ringfort (WM024-017----) 90m to NE. Annotated ‘Rathskeagh Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a bivallate earthwork. Monument described in 1971 as an almost levelled, roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 36m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp (approx. H 1.1m) has been levelled and is low in profile and the fosse (Wth at top 8.3m; basal Wth 2.7m) is wide and shallow (approx. D 1m). The original entrance is not recognisable and the interior has been partially skimmed away. Outline of monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
