On a very gentle S-facing slope at the N edge of the Little Curragh. Visible on aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A poorly preserved rectangular area (int. dims. L 25.5m N-S; Wth 16.5m) is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m) W-N-E, and by a narrow, shallow outer fosse (Wth 0.7m; D 0.1m). Broad, well defined cultivation ridges abut the enclosing element at E and cover the interior. A larger , rectangular field (dims. L 70m E-W; Wth 35m) abuts the enclosure at W and is defined by low earthen bank E-S-W and by a substantial townland boundary bank along the N. That field contains narrower, less well defined cultivation ridges. The enclosure and field may be later features, the result of taking a small portion of ground on the edge of the Curragh into cultivation.
