In reclaimed pasture, 100m SW of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Coolalough. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Possible enclosure identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 12; AP 5/2079) as an irregular shaped area enclosed by field boundary from NE-E and a bank from SW-N. Visible as curving field boundary from NE-E on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.
