The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval area (dims. c. 63m N-S; c. 50m E-W) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. A tower house (CW012-031----), ‘Ballyloo Castle’, is located on the ESE edge of the enclosure. The enclosure is defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 4-5m) visible as a cropmark. A stream running NNE-SSW, depicted on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map running immediately W of the enclosure, may have fed into the fosse. It is likely that the enclosure is a bawn associated with the tower house.
