The National Monuments Service's description
Possible hilltop enclosure (WI035-074----) and cairn (WI035-075) situated just off summit of hill with commanding views of the surrounding countryside. Possible prehistoric field walls running roughly E-W immediately S and E of cairn (WI035-073----). The furthest field wall to the S forms townland boundary with Glenteige. The meandering route of the field walls clearly visible on Google earth photographs (21/04/2015) suggest contemporaneity with each other and are different morphologically from the straight running field boundaries which enclose the base of the hilltop. Possible remains of prehistoric field system or linear defences on S side of possible hilltop enclosure.
