In pasture, 155m SW of the River Maigue, which also marks a townland boundary with Skagh. Enclosure (LI030-024----) lies 110m to S. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Damian Finn and described as a black area of soil discovered during ploughing (local information). Possible site was described on inspection as an area of heat-shattered stones and charcoal flecked soil.
