Described by Westropp, (1916-17, 22) as a straight-sided fort in the townland of Bohora, assumed to refer to Dohora. Monument is visible as a very faint, rectangular-shaped cropmark (75m E-W; 50m N-S) with a slightly smaller rectangular-shaped cropmark (60m NE-SW; 30m N-S) adjoining to S, on OSi orthophotos taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/02/2009 and 16/03/2016.
