The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture at the top of a S-facing slope, at the junction of three townland boundaries: Cornanaff, Grallagh (Gallen Barony) and Strade. An oval–shaped area (int. diams. 36m N–S; 26m E–W) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.8m at N-1.5m at W) with traces of a shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m) surviving at N. A second ringfort (MA070-122----) lies c. 80m to the NW and two more ringforts (MA070-124---- and MA070-125----) lie side by side c. 270m to the SE.
