Indicated

In pasture, straddling the NE-facing slope of a rise. There is a stream, coinciding with the N boundary of the townland 100m to N. Raised circular area (21.6m NNE−SSW; 23.5m ESE−WNW) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.7m; int. H 1.4mm; ext. H 1.5m at SW). On the NE arc the enclosure is built up to create a level interior and compensate for the natural slope. As a result, the enclosing wall at N−E consists of a high stone-faced external scarp (ext. H 2m); the internal wall face is low (H 0.15m) and largely tumbled and in parts at NE barely rises above interior ground level. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.8m) at SSW. The wall terminal on the E side of the gap incorporates large stones and projects outwards slightly. A field wall, which coinciding with the townland boundary between Carrowbaun and Rabaun, crosses the enclosure to SE of centre. In the N half of the interior, there is a narrow gully/trench (L 5m NNE−SSW; W 0.4m, 1m at N end; D 0.3-0.4m) of uncertain significance.
