Located in cutaway bog on a gentle ENE-facing slope overlooking the Abhainn an tSraithín. Fragmentary sections of pre-bog walls extend over an area c. 400m by 100m. The longest stretch is c. 30m and at least one cross-wall is visible. Built of rough boulders but obviously robbed to build adjoining field walls to N.
