The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of a SE-facing slope. Archaeological testing (07E0397) in the area of a proposed quarry immediately E and S of hillfort (WX025-034----) concentrated on locations with geophysical anomalies. A collection of linear features, including a stone-lined drain, occurred at one point. The character of the site is not clear but many of the features contained Leinster cooking ware. (Quinn 2010)
