Situated on the W shoulder of a ridge in rough, rocky grazing and within an extensive field system (CL005-014001-) stretching from Formoyle at N, across Faunarooska to Lislarheen Beg at S. A subcircular enclosure (10.5m N-S; 10m E-W) defined by a low bank (H 0.45m; Wth 1.7m) with remnants of inner facing from SE to S. An oval enclosure (CL005-006002-) is located c. 80m to the NNE on a kink in the boundary with Derrynavahagh townland. Adjacent walls c. 20m to the NW and c. 25m to the NE, visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and OSi Aerial Premium (2013-2018), appear to be slab walls of antiquity.
