Situated on a small terrace on the SW face of a hill in grassland with good views to the SE. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a circular shaped enclosure annotated as a ‘fort’. A gravel pit is shown in the interior of the site on the S side on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. No surface remains visible of levelled site.

Situated on the summit at the SE end of a ridge. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan maps as a circular enclosure that is annotated as ‘fort’. This monument has been levelled, and is now visible only as a raised scarp (approx. diam. 33m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a wide deep fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.25m). Traces of broad cultivation ridges are visible running ENE-WSW across the interior. A field fence running NW-SE which forms the townland boundary with Martinstown intersects the perimeter of the monument from NE-E.

Situated on the summit of a broad steep hill in grassland, with extensive views of the surrounding hilly countryside. Trivallate ringfort known locally as ‘Rathmore’. Remains consist of a large sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 47m N-S; 50m E-W) enclosed by three large earthen banks and two intervening fosses. The inner bank is best preserved from ESE-S, and is fragmentary and almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The inner fosse is wide and steep, with suggestions of a low bank on its outer edge. Beyond this is a wide berm, which varies in width, but is widest at E, and is enclosed by a large earthen bank and external fosse. The outermost bank has been levelled from S-W-N. There is an entrance gap (Wth inner bank 3.5m; Wth middle bank 2.7m; Wth outer bank 3.7m) through the banks with corresponding causeway (Wth varying from 2.5m-3.7m) across the fosses at ESE. The interior rises towards the centre. There is evidence of quarrying on the perimeter at E, where part of the berm and outer bank have been quarried away. A field boundary running NE-SW intersects the monument at N. Outline of monument and its multivallate nature is clearly visible on aerial photographs taken in 1968 and 1970 (CUCAP AVO055/BDV071-072).
