The National Monuments Service's description
No surface remains visible of levelled ringfort which is depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure intersected at N by a townland boundary running roughly E-W. The townland boundary and the ringfort are not depicted in this field on subsequent editions of the OS 6 inch maps. On the revised OS 6-inch maps the public road to the N now marks the line of the townland boundary.
