The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large level field east of the church (DU011-011001-) and castle (DU011-011004-) at Kilsallaghan, there was a field system defined by drains and scarped banks. It is particularly evident on the Bird's eye viewer of Bing Maps. Stables and roadway now occupy the western half of the field. Test-excavation and monitoring was undertaken (Licence no. 09E0357) within the field but nothing of archaeological significance was identified (Meenan 2009).
