The site is 20m N of the enclosure (LI023-020----) on the W edge of steep break in slope close to the summit of the hill. Knockroe Hill and the hillside terraces around it (N, W and SW) are densely occupied with forts (LI023-019----) 280m to SW and a variety of circular (LI023-263-/262/314) 170m to E, 140m to N and 130m to E.
