Marked as a circular feature (diam. c. 40m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a hachured D-shaped feature on the 1915 ed. Situated at the edge of a low shelf on a SW-facing slope overlooking Lough Croan, the N shore of which is c. 230m distant. This is a raised D-shaped grass-covered and poached area (dims 33m E-W; 13.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m) at SW and a scarp (H 0.4-0.75m) SE-SW. It is truncated by an E-W field wall at N but the perimeter is respected by a curved field wall N-E (dim. 31m N-S). Rath (RO044-066----) is c. 100m to the SW.
