In pasture, prominently located on top of the highest ridge (OD 339’) in the locality, with excellent views in all directions; it overlooks Cloonakillina Lough, which is located c. 280m to SW there. Broad expanses of bog surround the base of the ridge.
This enclosure is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular embanked area (25m NW−SE; 18m NE−SW) bordered on the NE side by a field boundary; it is depicted on the 1920 edition as a subcircular area (diam. c. 15m) truncated at NE by a field boundary. It is evident as a slightly raised circular area (14m E−W; 13m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at S) with a slightly raised internal rim. At N−NE the exterior edge of the scarp is clipped by a field ditch outside which is a field fence on a NW−SE axis.
The interior is level and grassy. A hawthorn tree stands in the N half, with a low heap (diam. 2-3m) of stones piled up at the base of the tree, partly covered by brambles.
