The National Monuments Service's description
In level wet pasture. Ringforts (TS057-008---- and TS057-009----) visible c. 130m and c. 375m to the S respectively. Roughly D-shaped slightly raised area (dims. 22m NNW-ESE; 14m WSW-ENE) enclosed by a broad gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m) but visible as a roughly circular area on aerial photograph (Bruff Site No. 37; aerial photo 2024). From SSW-NNW the WNW portion of the interior is absent with the current edge of the ringfort defined by a roughly linear irregular NNW-ESE orientated scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
