The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (CUCAP AWS 4) shows a cropmark of a circular -ditched enclosure (diam. c. 40m) at Knockaneek. The site is located in a level field of pasture. It is probably a levelled ringfort. In the neighbouring cornfield to the W of the same photograph shows a cropmark of a smaller causewayed enclosure at Cornstown (diam. c. 12m). There are no visible surface remains.
