Situated in demesne lands on the post-1700 Deerpark of Killua Castle located 570m to NNE. Ringfort (WM009-010----) 90m to N, two landscape features (WM009-009-/011----) located 160m to NNE. One of seven small circular-shaped earthworks (WM009-050-/051-/052-/053-/054-/055-/056-) roughly on a line running E-W that are visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.

This area was once planted with tree groves with an old pathway running through the deerpark as depicted on the first ed. OS 6-inch map. A post-1700 ‘Monument’ has been erected on the demesne approx. 270m to the NNE. The ‘Old Deer Park’ of Killua Castle is located 650m to the S as depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map.
