In pasture, on an E-W hollow with views W to Knockomagh. A roughly oval area (7m N-S; 5.7m N-S) is defined by the remains of an earth and stone wall (T c. 1m; H 0.2-0.9m). The wall consists of an intermittent outer facing of large stones and an inner row of contiguous slabs with an infill of earth and small stones between them. Across the centre of the interior are an E-W slab (L 1.9m; H 0.4m; T 0.1m), a smaller N-S slab at right angles to its E end and a N-S slab (L 1.05; H 0.5m; T 0.1m) 1.6m to its E. The purpose of these slabs is not clear. Another slab set radially across the bank at S may mark a possible entrance, the bank being low at that point. The entire enclosure is heavily overgrown with ferns and briars.
