Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1900 revision as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a field boundary running N-S along the E edge. The enclosure was levelled in 1960 as part of a land reclamation scheme (OPW correspondence, March 1960)and is not visible at ground level.
