In improved pasture, located on a rise, overlooking an area of rough wettish pasture to SE–S. Shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), and on the 1930 edition as a hachured arc, curving SE–W. On both editions it is enclosed within a roughly D-shaped wooded area (c. 60m NE–SW; c. 60m NW–SE) defined by field boundaries. The enclosure was removed during land reclamation; a NE–SW property fence, which formed the NW side of the large D-shaped wooded area, is extant, but all other field boundaries and the wood have been removed. The enclosure appears to have been located on top of a natural sub-circular rise. A contoured scarp can be traced on the SW–W side of the rise but it is unclear if is a remnant of the enclosure.

Explorer Tom Kelly's Cottage in Bunaneraghtish claims it's actually from the Roman Empire if you squint just right. The roof uses Turkish reeds now, which makes it smell faintly like a holiday you didn't take. Have a sandwich here while the wind tries to steal your hat.
