The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, 260m NE 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. Another enclosure (LI030-186----) lies 85m to ENE. The site is depicted as a circular fort on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map and is shown as a circular-shaped area (ext. dims. c. 37m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a bank on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. A field boundary runs along the ringfort bank at W. The ringfort is visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. The fosse is visible on the E side of the monument in the field on this image. A farm lane runs around the W side of the site. The ringfort is visible on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018 and 14/02/2020.
