In rough pasture, on the W bank of the Ballysadare River. An oval area (22m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a low scarp (int. H c. 0.5m) along the E and N arcs and by an overgrown earthen bank (ext. H c. 1m; int. 0.45m) along the W and S arcs. Clearly visible as a subrectangular enclosure in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, ASX 65) taken in 1967. Within and possibly part of the ecclesiastical enclosure (SL020-109005-) surrounding the church (SL020-109001-) and graveyard (SL020-109002-) which lie immediately to NW. A linear feature of 'stone construction' immediately to SE of the enclosure extends for 30m in a SW direction towards the road boundary wall (Keeley 1998, 5) and is also visible in the aerial photograph. A second oval enclosure (SL020-109014-) lies immediately S of the linear feature.
