Poorly preserved bivallate ringfort which is very overgrown making detailed examination of the interior impossible. Located on high ground with extensive flat bogland on all sides except to the N where there is high ground. There is a lot of damage to the outer defences especially to the E side. Where the outer fosse survives it has been greatly widened for drainage channels required for the surrounding forest plantation. The site consists of a circular platform (diam 50m E-W) delimited by a low earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.2m); fosse (Wth 2m; int. D 1m) with an external bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m) and outer fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.5m) visible at W only. No entrance feature visible which may be due to the overgrowth on the site.

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.
