H 2.55m) incorporated into earth and stone field boundary ENE-E-S, which serves as townland division between Killerk North and Jossestown. Four separate depressions along SE exterior are disused quarries. Interior generally level, heavily overgrown and largely inaccessible due to recent dumping of fir trees.
