On the S-facing slopes of the N shore of Lickeen Lough in an area of uncleared rough grazing with good views to the S but overlooked by higher ground elsewhere. Hachured on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). An oval area (44m N-S; 39.5m E-W) defined from N to S by a low scarp (max. H 0.2m) and from S to N by an inner bank, a berm and an outer bank. The inner bank is best preserved at its N and S extents (Wth c. 2m; H 0.2m) and is reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The berm (Wth 3.5m) is widest at NNW. The outer bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m) is best preserved at SW and N and has been dug away at NW. At N there is a potential causeway, the E part of which has been truncated by a field boundary. The interior slopes gently to the S and two parallel field boundaries orientated N-S form a narrow field (Wth 3-7m), planted with trees.
