The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-facing slope, on the W side of a tributary of the Tralia River. Access to this enclosure was not gained. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (c. 60m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE). On the 1894 OS 6-inch map the NE end of the rectangular enclosure is wider with slightly curving sides. In the 1840s it was described as 'Ballybrack fort' in the 'Southern part' of this townland (OSNB, Kilnanare, 11).
