The National Monuments Service's description
In mature forestry, currently being felled, on a gentle E-facing slope. Access not gained. Depicted on 1st (1840) and 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps as circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m). Field boundary depicted at tangent to E on 1843 map and truncating E-sector on current map. No buffer zone in forestry noted from vantage point of Sheegouna. It is possible that this monument has been levelled and is the one described by Keatinge (1858-9, 11) as 'the site of another fort (but which is now levelled)'.
