Located towards the bottom of the undulating E-facing slope of a drumlin. A large enclosure (dims c. 150m N-S; c. 100m E-W) defined by field banks S-W-N and by a townaland boundary with Coolderry (par. Donaghmoyne) elsewhere is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map with a burial ground at the centre. The enclosure is a grass-covered area defined by a low grass-covered bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) or scarp S-W-N and by the field bank and townland boundary elsewhere. There is no evidence of the burial ground, but a bullaun stone (MO032-004002-) is at the field bank ESE of the centre. There is a local tradition that a St. Derrig had a monastery here, but this cannot be confirmed (Ó Riain 2011).
