In pasture immediately E of field boundary that marks the townland boundary with Ballyluddy. Ringfort (LI024-026----) located 50m to SE. Not depicted on OS maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 100; AP 4/3677) as a circular shaped cropmark. Visible as a levelled circular shaped area (approx. diam. 20m) defined by a low fosse visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018. This imagery also shows a levelled linear feature possibly an old field boundary intersecting the monument at S and running SE to ringfort (LI024-026----).
