The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 70m NW-SE; c. 50m N-S) visible as a cropmark on a GSI aerial photograph (S481, 1973-7) in the field N of Bonnetstown castle (KK019-003001-). This may relate to an 18th/19th-century field system as the N side of the enclosure, running NW-SE, follows the line of a field boundary indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map, which had been removed by the 1945-6 revision of this map.
