On a hilltop in boggy uncleared pasture with panoramic views. Several nearby field boundaries have been removed and some fields show traces of former cultivation. Hachured and named ‘Knockalish Fort’ on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ringfort in the RMP (1996). A subcircular grassed-over earthen rath (int. dims. 43.9m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by a round-topped steep-sided bank (Wth 4.9-6m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.2-1.6m) at W, NW, E and SE. Elsewhere the bank has been reduced to a scarp (H 1.6-1.7m). A field boundary, running N-S, overlies its E limits. A shallow external depression (Wth 8m), concentric with the bank at W and N, may be the remains of a fosse. A number of cattle gaps cut through the bank but a wide gap (Wth 8.5m) at E may be the remains of the original entrance gap. The interior is waterlogged and is highest towards the centre. On inspection the sod cover had been removed from the outer face of the bank at W.

On a gentle rise beside a stream with good views and in an area of rough undulating pasture with nearby signs of earlier cultivation. Hachured and named ‘Tullagh Fort’ on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Westropp (1913, 259-260) describes a rath in the townland of Tullagha ‘probably the ancient Tulach Chuirc’ with a rampart which is ‘31 feet thick’ which rises ‘6 feet over the garth’. He describes three gaps, ‘the third faces the east and was probably the ancient entrance’ and a waterlogged fosse (ibid.). A roughly circular rath (int. dims. 50m N-S; 48.5m E-W) defined by a steep-sided and flat-topped bank (Wth at base 10m; Wth at top 3m; H 3-4m) with possible entrances at E (Wth 1m) and SSE (Wth 8.5m) and a possible outer fosse visible as a flat-bottomed waterlogged depression (Wth 3.5m; D c. 1m) outside the bank from SE to N. The E and SSE entrances are stone-lined and may be original. Narrow cattle gaps occur at SW and NE. A low earthen bank orientated E-W (H 0.3m; Wth 2m) slightly E of centre divides the interior into two parts. The N section of the interior is marshy and waterlogged.
