Located off the Dublin-Belfast Road in a field of pasture that slopes down gradually eastwards to Corduff stream. This site was identified from aerial photographs taken in 1972 (FSI 367/6). It survives as a roughly rectangular raised platform (dims. c. 45m N-S; 35m E-W; H 1-1.3m) with enclosing fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.45m). Drains run from the E, NE, NW and SW sections of the platform. Accessed by fording the Corduff river and the field entrance marked by two stone piers. It was marked on 19th century lease maps as the 'Fancy field'. According to the landowner there is a tradition that the field is the site of the 'town' of Newtown Corduff.
