A circular earthen platform which is scarped all around (diam.42m; H 3m); probably the remains of a platform ringfort. Named 'fort' on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. The site was formerly under dense tree cover on the grounds of Corduff House. Now within green space abutted by two playing pitches and a pathway. Remains of well established trees edging and upon mound which is defined on its top edge by large boulders. Some denuding along southwest quadrant. Being used for anti-social behaviour.
