In pasture, on a strip (Wth 100-200m) of gently elevated, level ground bordered by the Ballyglass River at W and the Doonbeakin River at E. A ford on the Ballyglass River is shown on 1913 OS 6-inch map c. 45m to NW of the enclosure, adjacent to a ruined vernacular farmstead. The two rivers converge c. 200m to N of the enclosure where other fording points are shown on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. Ovoid area (82m N–S; 67m E–W) defined by a sod-covered, ruined drystone wall. The W half of the enclosure encompasses higher, level ground from where there is a gentle slope to N and NE where the ground levels out again. At W and N the wall is incorporated into field plots associated with the adjacent vernacular cottage. The interior of the enclosure is bisected centrally, on an E–W axis, by a ruined, largely sod-covered drystone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.6m), roughly built of rounded boulders. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL018-095----) in the elevated SW quadrant of the interior. Immediately to E of the access hole to the Man-made underground passage, there is a grass-covered, circular field clearance cairn (3m N–S; 3.5m E–W; H 0.8m). A second cairn (diam. 4m; H 1.1m) is located 3m to E of that. A bank/scarp (H 0.85m) skirts the two cairns and the Man-made underground passage at S–W, defining the elevated ground on which they are located.
