The National Monuments Service's description
Described on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map as 'Tullyneeny Fort' in gothic lettering, and situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 34.6m E-W; 33.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.5-4.7m; Wth of top 0.5-0.6m; int. H 0.55-0.85m; ext. H 1-1.1m), with a rounded fosse (Wth of top 4.3m; Wth of base 1m; D 0.45m) WSW-WNW. The stone-lined entrance (Wth 2.4m) is at ESE. Fragments of old field walls approach the centre, where there is a clearance cairn, from the perimeter at WNW and ENE. There is a NW-SE field wall just outside the perimeter at S, and a pond outside the perimeter at WNW. Rath (RO047-095----) is c. 160m to the NNE.
