Located on a slight N-S ridge that is on the NW-facing slope of the Hill of Tara ridge. An oval enclosure (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a single fosse NW-NE and SSE-SW is visible only on Google Earth (21/09/2021). The perimeter at NW-NE is connected with the cropmark of an E-W field drain that is aligned with the S avenue leading W from the site of Moortown House c. 450m to the W. This enclosure could be a landscape feature, and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
