The National Monuments Service's description
On crest of broad, flat-topped ridge, sloping slightly to S, in pasture. Ringfort (TS076-021----) located c. 150m to the SSW and Outeragh Church (TS076-018----) is c. 300m to the NW. Roughly circular area (ext. diam. c. 25m N-S; c. 28m E-W) heavily overgrown with scrub and nettles. Monument is defined by a bank with high stone content (Wth 1.5m crest, 4.8m base; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.38m). There is no visible trace of an ext. fosse, though nettles are growing vigorously at the ext. base of bank. A field boundary runs roughly NE-SW outside the S quadrant. Two field boundaries to N of the ringfort have been removed. Bank is largely intact but denuded by cattle in places. Limited digging into bank in E quadrant. In S-SW sector the bank is reduced to scarp.
