The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just S of the highest NW point of a NW-SE ridge in pasture. A steep cliff-like face forms the N side of the ridge. A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) is barely discernible on satellite imagery defined by a low bank. A ringfort (CL023-006----) lies c. 60m downslope to SW. Reported to the National Monuments Service by Matthew Kelly.
