Situated on the top of a gentle rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to E, S and SW. Ringfort (WM025-128----) lies c. 135m to NW. Monument described in 1971 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 25m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. A gap (Wth 4.7m; basal Wth 2.3m) in the inner bank at ESE probably represents the entrance, where the fosse is filled up on either side. The inner bank is steep and is almost reduced to a scarp, where it is visible from W-N-E and is denuded by cultivation elsewhere. There are slight remains of an intervening fosse from NNE-E-S. An outer earthen bank is visible from WNW-W. A later stone wall running ESE-WNW has been built against its outer face. The site is bisected by a modern wall and trench running NNE-SSW which forms a townland boundary. A possible souterrain (WM025-129001-) is within the NE quadrant.
