The National Monuments Service's description
On flat level ground within Gowran demesne. A number of linear cropmarks are visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AYK080, 9 July 1969) in a field running eastward from a tower house (KK020-060001-) and bawn (KK020-060002-). The cropmarks, running roughly NE-SW, appear to predate the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and relate to an earlier field pattern.
