The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 200m N of the townland boundary with Morenane. One of a series of enclosures (LI030-055/116/058/061----) in an E-W alignment within the townland between 250m and 400m apart. The site is depicted as an enclosure on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map and is shown as a circular-shaped ringfort (ext. dims. c. 47m N-S; 45m E-W) surrounded by enclosing field boundaries with an external fosse. The field boundaries are aligned on the top of the ringfort bank. The ringfort is visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013 as a ringfort surrounded by a fosse incorporated into modern field boundaries. The enclosure is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
