Situated on the S-facing slope of a broad N-S spur with the northern end of Derrybrick Lough visible to the SE and the northern end of Drumlane Lough visible to the SW, both of which are at the NW edge of the Lough Oughter complex of lakes. The field system consists of rectangular fields (dims c. 30m x c. 30m) defined by broad earthen banks (Wth c. 3m; H c. 0.1-0.2m) or scarps and cover the area of the ecclesiastical enclosure and the ecclesiastical building (CV014-028005-) S of it, amounting to about 20 acres (c. 8 ha). A section of a road (L 30m; Wth 8.6m) defined by earthen banks (Wth 2.5-4.4m; H 0.1-0.2m) at N and S runs E-W through the fields and other roads could be present. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 27 July 2018
