The National Monuments Service's description
On the E slopes of Deen valley and to the N of the upper Dinin valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views except to E where it is limited by rising ground. Within the interior of a ringfort (KK010-026001-) there are two hollows on the S side which may be indicating a collapsed souterrain as according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 163), ‘A passage leading from it to the west was discovered not many years ago’.
