Situated on a slight N-facing slope. Archaeological testing (18E0334) in the area between the church of Ballynure (WX022-013001-) and its associated holy well (WX022-014----) located c. 130m to the E identified numerous features in Upton townland including a pit (dims 2.3m plus; D 0.25m plus) which produced medieval pottery. There was also an E-W fosse (Wth c. 3m; L 10m plus), gullies, a charcoal-flecked clay floor (dims c. 20m plus E-W; c. 3m N-S), pits and a second clay floor (dim. 12m plus). Medieval pottery was recovered from the first pit, but other wares together with worked flints were found throughout the tested area, suggesting that the habitation floors are prehistoric, perhaps Bronze Age, in date.
