The National Monuments Service's description
The remains of a low earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m; H 0.4m; L c. 90m) running from N-S which cuts off a headland jutting into the Atlantic Ocean marked on the 6-inch map as 'Rinnanane' and forming what appears to be a possible promontory fort. There is no evidence of any gap or entrance feature in this field bank. The dating of this field bank is uncertain, and its small size and form would suggest that it is possibly 18th or 19th century in date. An enclosure or cashel (DG097A002-) is located 50m to the NW.
