Situated on a low NW-SE ridge with Laurel Lough c. 100m to the NE at the nearest point. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 56m E-W; 55.5m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank and hedge that is largely reduced to an external scarp (H c. 1.5-1.7m) with an outer fosse (Wth c. 2.7-3m; D 0.3-0.6m). There is an entrance gap at NE but an entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) and outer causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.4m) at NW could be original. Archaeological testing (17E0510) c. 70m to the NW at the closest point produced no related material. (Byrne 2017)
