In pasture, on the NW outskirts of Swinford town, located at the break of slope on the SW side of a knoll.
This is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a trapezoidal shaded feature (c. 20m E−W at N, c. 30m E−W, at N; c. 15-20m N−S); it is not shown on the 1919 edition. It was included in the SMR (1991) and RMP (1997) on the basis of an aerial photograph (OS 2 4438 -9; Roll 216, pr. 13; SMR file) in which it is visible as an irregular raised feature.
The remains consist of grass-covered, irregular-shaped mound (max. dim. 9-10m; H c. 1.6m), heavily quarried and disturbed. Its original form and whether it is of archaeological significance are uncertain.
It is partly obscured by hawthorn bushes.
