Within a modern forest plantation, formerly in pasture 920m ESE from the Camoge River and the townland boundary with Drominycarra. The enclosure lies 145m E of a burnt mound (LI031-178003-) and 270m NW of an enclosure (LI031-178002-). Not depicted on historic OSi maps. It is visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 34.01: AP 4/3644) as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30.5m). The enclosure consists of a central circular area surrounded by a fosse (Wth. c. 5m). The site is visible on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017 and on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/09/2020.
