The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope immediately N of the Corofin/Kilfenora road and immediately W of a walled garden (CL0216-032011-) associated with Leamaneh Castle (CL016-032002-/CL016-032003-). Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 OS 6-inch map (max. diam. 30m) and named ‘Fort’ on a plan of Leamaneh by Westropp (1900, 404). A curving field fence at W appears to respect the former presence of a feature but there are no visible remains at ground level.
