The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Killeen Mountain. A rectangular area (27m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) defined by large stone on outcropping rock at NW and by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.25m; H 0.7m) elsewhere. Remains of cultivation ridges run NW-SE across the interior. A large stone at the NW side is known locally as a mass-rock (KE068-116----). The enclosure is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) and named 'Sheep Fold'. It is indicated on the 1894-5 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (c. 20m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW).
