The National Monuments Service's description
A ringfort in this townland was re-used in the 1590s and lost by a Capt. Green to the Irish (Cronin 1980, 118). It has not been identified, but any of four monuments is possible (RO004-034----; RO004-035----; RO004-036----; RO004-037----) although none of them shows any signs of it.
