Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape, with small old lake beds just to the E (diam. c. 270m) and N (diam. c. 150m). The location is within a curve of the N foothills of the ENE-WSW Slieve Breagh ridge E-S-W. The cropmark or soilmark of a large enclosure that appears to have numerous wide enclosing banks is visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and Google Earth (07/05/2017; 16/05/2018; 14/05/2020; 04/03/2022). It appears to consist of a platform (diam. c. 30m) separated by a fosse (Wth c. 10m) from an earthen bank (Wth c. 20m) that is surrounded by an outer fosse (Wth c. 15m) and possibly a second outer bank (Wth c. 15-20m). An entrance through the banks and fosses cannot be detected (max. ext. diam. c. 150m). It may be a large barrow and it was first reported by Rob O’Hara.
