In a low-lying position with NW-SE ridges to the N and S. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 70m E-W; 54m N-S) defined by flat-bottomed moats (Wth of base 8.5-9.7m; int. D 0.7-0.85m; ext. D 0.5-1m) and outer banks (Wth 2-2.8m; ext. H 0.1-0.75m), which have been removed at W and towards the E end of the N side. The interior is overlain by two N-S field walls, but field banks are connected to the outer bank at the NE and SE corners, including what may have been part of a roadway (RO034-082001-), now removed, but visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVH 72), running NE (L c. 100m) towards Oran church (RO034-080001-) c. 500m to the NE. Archaeological testing (04E1497) c. 30m to SW failed to produce any related archaeological material (Delany 2007a). (Knox 1911, 311-13; Graham 1988, 31)
