In a stand of trees, with a farmstead immediately to NW, located on a gentle elevation with a fall of ground to NE. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and the later 25-inch plan as a circular embanked enclosure; an irregular-shaped field planted with trees is shown on the 1916 edition. The dilapidated remnants of a roughly circular enclosure (31m NE–SW; c. 30m NW–SE) can be traced. It is incorporated into a system of field walls and now serves as a garden field attached to a modern farmstead. The perimeter on the E half is defined by remnants of a wall, barely discernible at N–NNE and evident at NE–S as a broad, low stony rise (Wth 2.6m). Large stones, protruding in parts, probably represent the basal course of a wall. It is uncertain to what extent these remains represent the ruins of an original enclosing wall or a later wall built when the enclosure was incorporated into the farmstead. Field walls abut or radiate from it at N, NE, E and SE. The enclosing wall cannot be traced on the W half: Here a straight field wall, on a NW–SE axis, clips the SW edge and a N–S farm track appears to truncate the perimeter at W–NW. There is a marked drop in interior ground level in the N−NW quadrant. According to local tradition, there was a souterrain (MA082-018002-) in the ringfort. Interior has an uneven surface covered with long grass and thistles; a few sycamore trees grow in the lower NW quadrant, with a concentration of stones at their base. The perimeter of the enclosure is ringed with sycamores trees. There is an enclosure (MA082-019----) 155m to S, a court tomb (MA082-017----) 285m to W and a standing stone (MA082-062----) 230m to WMW.

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.
