In reclaimed pasture, 170m S of Morningstar River that forms townland boundary with Kilballyowen and S of entranceway into Milltown House. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Possible enclosure identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 42; AP 5/2069). No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. Linear cropmarks visible perpendicular to each represent drainage associated with land reclamation works.
