Situated on a W-facing slope, off the crest of a hill in pastureland. A stream runs by the W side of the site forming a natural fosse. A univallate ringfort defined by a bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.36m; ext. H 0.75m) largely reduced to scarp along the W side and levelled at E (where the flattened remains of the bank can still be distinquished) and N. The interior slopes slightly to the W. In the N sector a very wet fosse (Wth c. 2m; D 0.2m) separates the site from an adjacent drystone field boundary. Known as 'lios' by the landowner, who described a tradition of a light over the fort foretelling the death of a family member in the USA.

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.
