Situated on the gradual NE slope of a hill, in pasture. Depicted on the 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map as an irregular enclosure which appears to be truncated by a NW-SE field boundary along the SW quadrant and as a circular enclosure on the 1904 ed. with a townland boundary along the SW quadrant. Although levelled a curving field boundary indicates the former presence of the site and there are slight traces of a fosse.
