Named as Kilmolappoge Church and Holy Well on 1839 'OS 6-inch' map, probably a mapping error, since this name is given to another site (CW016-074----) on the 1938-9 ed. Present remains consist of irregular but possibly originally circular platform (47.7m E-W, 54m NNE-SSW) enclosed by fosse with external bank, best preserved at W (D of fosse 1m below ext. bank; Wth 6m; ext. H of bank 1.3m; Wth c. 7m). Causeway at NNW. Foundations of rectangular granite structure (dims. c 11m x 5m) off-centre of enclosure, orientated ESE-WNW with possible entrance at W.
