Situated in a wet hollow, in rough, poorly drained pasture, with restricted views of the surrounding landscape. Ringfort (WM025-081----) lies c. 100m to S. Monument described in 1971 as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a low wide earth and stone bank that is almost reduced to a scarp from E-SE-S. There are slight remains of internal stone facing at NNW. A modern earthen field fence running NE-SW lies to the immediate SE and there is a waterlogged drain between it and the ringfort bank. There is no definite trace of an external fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is waterlogged and has no obvious traces of any features. Unusual wetland location may suggest that this was the site of a crannóg or wetland habitation site rather than that of a ringfort.
