OS 6-inch map as a circular -shaped enclosure. 'Knocksentry Fort' described in 1840 as following; 'It is 2 chains [40m] in diameter and has what appears to have been an embankment round it, with 3 ditches running from it. It is not cultivated' (OSNB Killeenagarriff Parish 1107). The site description is based upon its depiction on the 1897 OS 25-inch map and on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
