The National Monuments Service's description
Cropmark of trivallate semicircular-shaped feature (approx. diam. 75m) visible on Google earth aerial imagery. Situated on the demesne lands of Killybegs House this may be the remains of a designed landscape feature such as a ha-ha or some other terraced feature. Alternatively it could be the remains of a multivallate enclosure which predates the landscaping of the demesne. Cropmarks of tree-rings of post-1700 date are visible in field to WSW of Killybegs House
