Internal diameter 26m N-S, 27m E-W This univallate ringfort is situated in a large pastoral field which is sloping S. It consists of a circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank. The enclosing bank is on average 6m wide at the base and rises to 1.4m externally and .8m-1.2m internally. Two main gaps are to be noticed: to the NW measuring c 4m wide and to the E, which is c 3m wide. The opening to the E displays a lot of stones and may be the original stone-lined entrance.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
