The National Monuments Service's description
On a hummock in gently undulating pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosed coniferous tree plantation (c. 39m NNW-SSE; c. 34m NE-SW). No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives and the trees have been removed. Probably a landscape feature associated with Rathmore demesne.
