The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a natural in undulating grassland with boundary of Turin R. C. Chapel built on E quadrant of ringfort as depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. A stream located 35m to S marks the townland boundary with Killynan. Remains consist of a platform ringfort (WM013-089---) with traces of four possible hut sites (WM013-089001-/089002-/089003-/089004-) and a possible collapsed souterrain (WM013-089005-). A curving depression, possibly representing the remains of a collapsed souterrain, is visible in the NE quadrant of the interior of the ringfort (WM013-089---), on the S side of 2 possible hut sites (WM013-089001-/002-).
