The National Monuments Service's description
Just above transition from valley to hillside, at the end of a terrace along Rathlogan river valley, in rolling grassland. There are commanding views over the Rathlogan and Goul river valleys. A church (KK008-082001-) and graveyard (KK008-082002-) are located immediately ENE of the ringfort (KK008-081----). Within the interior of the ringfort there are two large hollows, one in the NW and one is the SW quadrant. These are supposedly the location of collapsed caves. It is possible that these are indicators of a souterrain, the collapse being either at the entrance and/or where the roof has partially collapsed.
