On a S-facing slope in an upland area with Ailwee Hill rising to the W. A subrectangular area (oriented E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank (at N: Wth 2.7m; ext. H 0.3m; int. H 0.6m; at S: Wth 3.37m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.13m). There is an entrance feature at the NW corner (Wth 1.4m) and an earthfast stone (0.8m x 0.5m) lies just outside. The uneven interior is sunken below outer ground level and may have been disturbed in antiquity. A low raised central area (diam. 4.52m; H 0.5m) gives a slight barrow-like appearance and a rough uneven fosse-like area around it appears to be wetter than surrounding areas. This field and others in the immediate area have been reclaimed and clearance cairns (not recent) are evident. A concentric enclosure (CL006-159----) is 10m to the SE in the adjoining field.
