The National Monuments Service's description
On the NW slope of a low NE-SW ridge in pasture. A roughly rectangular enclosure (c. 30m NW-SE and c. 23m NE-SW) defined by a low bank and fosse. Visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and reported by Micheál MacGearailt in 2020. A small annexe (c. 7m x 5m) is attached near the S end of the W side and a straight fosse extends c. 55m to the NW from the NW corner. (Two ringforts (CL028-025---- and CL028-026----) are on top of the ridge 60m to the SE and 170m to the E respectively.
