The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough pasture, on a SSW-facing slope of a high ridge, on an isthmus between Lough Drin and Brittas Lough. In the interior of a levelled ringfort (WM019-014----) are the remains of a long rectangular-shaped house site (dims. L 8.5m; Wth 3.2m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.5m) which has since been levelled. House site not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
