The National Monuments Service's description

In upland, on a rocky terrace of the S slopes overlooking the Nuenna river valley, on the S side, in pasture. Within a ringfort (KK013-041001-), slightly E of centre of the interior, there is a possible rock-cut souterrain
consisting of a straight-sided trench (Wth 1m; D c. 1m; L c. 8m) running N-S. There is a lot of naturally occurring rock-outcrop in the interior and the trench may be the result of quarrying.
