In improved pasture, on a very gentle E-facing slope with rock outcrop close to the surface. A beech woodland with obvious rock outcropping; stone deposits are located to the immediate N. Recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 65-6) as a small enclosure which he labelled ‘D’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’. He describes it as ‘a bawn, D-shaped in plan, with nothing in the site to necessitate this shape’. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Not visible at ground level. According to local information this land was improved during the 1960s/70s.
