Very little remained of this bivallate ringfort after the erection of several farm buildings over the years. A watching brief had been undertaken by the writer in 1994 when development took place at the south-east of the site. When a further planning permission was applied for, the OPW requested that an excavation take place. This was carried out in the small portion of this site that still remained apparently relatively undisturbed, to the north-east. Two small trenches were opened by mechanical excavator. Nothing of archaeological significance was found.
