The National Monuments Service's description

Post-1700 designed landscape earthworks associated with the demesne lands of Ballingoola Glebe House are visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs and on aerial photographs taken in 1968 (CUCAP AVQ092). Identified as enclosure by the Bruff Survey from aerial photograph (AP 4/3655) but cartographic evidence (OS first edition) shows this is a small rectangular field enclosure in demesne of Ballingoola Glebe House.
