It occupies a north-facing slope on a gentle hill, measuring 80 metres from north to south and 36 metres from east to west.

On the N-facing slope of a gentle hill in undulating pastureland. Ballynahinch church (TS060-059004-) and graveyard (TS060-059007-) are located in the field immediately to the E. According to a local source this field was always called the church field, presumably the eastern field boundary is a more recent addition.
