Situated on top of a roughly circular-shaped natural knoll, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1983 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 30m) defined by a band of differential growth around the edge of a natural hillock, which presumably represents a backfilled fosse. According to local information, this monument was a ringfort with a bank approximately 2-3ft in height and was levelled out c. 1980. Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

'While examining the site of the destroyed ring fort (a) in Killinroan Td. [see separate note] I was informed by a local farmer of an 'old graveyard' in the townland. On examination this proved to be a quite extensive earthwork, not formerly recorded. The main feature of the site is what appears to be a roughly circular enclosure (WM030-070002-), which survives for approx. 3/4 of its circuit. The enclosing element is a low, but fairly wide, earthen bank. This curves in an arc from E. NE, N, NW, W, SW. On the S side there are non surviving indications of the enclosure. The bank is best preserved on the E, NE, N where it runs along the shoulder of the hill. The land slopes away to N & E. This enclosure has an internal diameter of c. 43m E-W. On the N side of the site the enclosing bank continues to run W from the NW corner of the circular enclosure. It runs along the should of the hill for c. 40m to a point where it intersects with a modern, stone built field wall which run NE - SW. The bank is very well defined towards the W end being c. 1/2m high & c. 1m wide. Much of the ground to S of this bank is rough, with some rock outcrop. On SW there is a large boulder and a bush growing beside it. There are no indications of any special local reverence for this feature. There are no indications of a church building, nor of graves etc., in fact nothing except the local tradition & perhaps the townland name to point to an ecclesiastical association for the site, which looks more like a ring fort with some sort of associated features. The monument is located on the NNE should of a hill in good pasture land. The land slopes away to NE, N & NW. On NW side there is a valley which is broken by natural hills & ridges. The ground slopes genly to S.'
