The hillfort was recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Overlooking the Limerick lowlands and with excellent views to the N, E and W, an oval hillslope fort with a total site footprint of approximately 1.3ha is positioned in a highly visible area just off the summit of a hilltop at the N foothills of Slievereagh Mountain. Univallate for the entire circuit with two simple entrance gaps in the E and W. No internal features recorded, although a number of small, circular features at the centre of the fort are apparent in aerial photography. These may represent hut structures. Ramparts survive well throughout the circuit. The external ditch is apparent in the W and is not visible for the remainder of the circuit. A track-way abutting the external ditch at the W also represents a townland boundary. The interior is under pasture. First map depiction in first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. More detailed earthwork survey in second edition Ordnance Survey mapping.'
