Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Annotated ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as an almost subtriangular-shaped earthwork delimited by a scarp. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a large oval-shaped earthwork. Monument shown as a grove of trees on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1983 as no surface remains visible. The site where it is marked in pencil on the OPW field map is a large, shallow roughly circular depression.
