NM80SW 33 8321 0483
This oval fort, measuring 32.5m by 18m internally, occupies the summit of a rocky knoll which lies immediately NW of the standing stone noted on NM80SW 1 and about 400m SSE of Kintraw farmhouse. The wall has been reduced to a low band of rubble in which occasional outer facing-stones are visible on the S and E; small patches of vitrified stonework can be seen on the N and SSW, as well as fire-reddened stones elsewhere along the course of the wall. The position of the entrance is not clear, but it almost certainly lay on the N, where an outwork was built to enclose a small terrace. There is a low grassy scarp in the NW of the grass-grown interior, which may indicate the site of a timber building.
RCAHMS 1988, visited May 1982.
