Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating and hilly pasture, with extensive views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a modified roughly oval-shaped earthwork incorporated into field boundaries from NW-N-NE. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 34m E-W; 33m N-S) enclosed by a bank which has been denuded down to a scarp in places and vague traces of an outer fosse. The bank is fragmentary in general and has been steepened in modern times from NW-N-NE, where there is a modern field bank on its upper edge, as depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. There are two small quarried depressions in the bank at E. A modern fence running NNE-SSW intwersects the bank at SSW and from SSW-W-NW there is a modern wire fence along the bank. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is a modern trackway across the scarp at S and at WNW. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre and has traces of cultivation ridges running NNW-SSE. Monument is visible today as a roughly oval-shaped tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.

Situated on a rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to SE, S and SW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular earthwork. A National Museum of Ireland record card indicates that a bone object was discovered in this ringfort. Monument described in 1970 as the disturbed remains of a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 31m) defined by a bank from SE-S-W-N-NNE. A gap (Wth at top 3.9m; basal Wth 2.5m) at SSW may represent the entrance. There are very vague suggestions of a fosse at the foot of the bank. The interior rises slightly from the perimeter towards the centre. The NE quadrant has been removed by quarrying. The ground outside the monument at S has also been quarried and there is a small heap of upcast outside the entrance gap. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted area on Digital Globe aerial photography.

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.
