In rough hill pasture, within a network of pre-bog walls (CO126-028003-) on a break on the N-facing slopes of Dursey Island. A circular area (9m N-S; 8.3m E-W) is defined by the remains of a stone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.75m) consisting mainly of non-contiguous upright slabs set radially along the perimeter. These are best displayed W-SSE. It appears that stones from the SSE-W arc were used to make the now abandoned turf stand for stacking turf c. 5m to the W. The entrance (Wth 1m) is at N. The entire enclosure is obscured by rushes. There is a fulacht fia (CO126-028002-) c. 50m to the ENE.
