The National Monuments Service's description
On a very low pasture spur which projects NE into tillage. A 1973 aerial photograph (CUCAP BOC 39) shows a circular area (est. max. diam. c. 45m) defined by the cropmarks of two concentric fosses, probably the remains of a ringfort. Not visible at ground level. A tower house (KD015-002001-) and bawn (KD015-002002-) stand c. 75m to the SE. (GSI N 396)
