In rough pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A D-shaped area (dims. 19m NW-SE) with a straight NW side (L 20m NE-SW) terraced into the hillslope, the SW portion raised 1.9m above outer ground level and the NE portion cut into the upslope in two steps c. 2.2m below ground level. A short section of earthen bank (L 6m; Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident at S. A linear NE-SW field boundary defines the straight side. No visible remains of the enclosure on the NW side of the field boundary. Locally known as 'Lisheen'.
