The interior maintains the natural hill slope. The external drystone wall facing of the scarp may be of nineteenth-century date. Possible hillfort reused as a landscape feature associated with nearby big house. Recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Multiple enclosure on low hilltop at E foothills of Silvermines Mountains, overlooking Cromoge River to E with panoramic views. Possible bivallate hillfort with total site footprint of 9.7ha. There are no recorded entrance features. No evidence for any internal features on the surface. Inner enclosing elements are reduced to scarp and first edition Ordnance Survey mapping indicates the rampart was much more impressive than at present. Possible concentric outer enclosing elements apparent in first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. These have been destroyed and are now only visible to the N. Interior under pasture. First map depiction in first edition Ordnance Survey 6 inch mapping. Monument surveyed by Farrelly and O'Brien (2002). Inner enclosing elements comprise a bank of earth 1.6m wide and 0.3m high with no obvious ditch feature. External drystone wall facing in some sections is likely to be of nineteenth-century date (Farrelly and O'Brien 2002). First edition Ordnance Survey mapping indicates that the enclosing elements were originally much more substantial. Possible outer enclosing element identified on aerial photography and first edition Ordnance Survey mapping. Apparent to the N, NE and W as a concentric bank approximately 125m from the inner enclosing elements.'
