The National Monuments Service's description
This ringfort is situated on the N slopes of Carrickgollogan in upland pasture. This site is shown as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. It also depicts a possible hut site in the S end of the interior. It is partially marked on the 1937 OS ed. Healy (1975, 1-19) described the site as a ringfort (diam.33m). The area has since been planted with trees leaving no visible remains.
