The National Monuments Service's description
On an NE-facing slope of hill, in undulating terrain. The ringfort was almost completely levelled when inspected in 1977 as the housing estate, which now occupies the site, was being constructed. According to the report this was an oval enclosure (diam. c. 52m N-S) with remains of a substantial earthen bank from the S-W-NNW (int. H 1m; ext. H 2m; Wth 1m crest; 4.3m base) (OPW files 7/2/77). It is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and subsequent 1904-05 ed. as a large, roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 65m N-S; c. 61m E-W) with trees in the interior.
