The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape at the N foothills of Slieve na Calliagh ridge. Aerial photographs from 1991 (GB91.DD33; GB91DE05) shows a sunken feature (L c. 150m NE-SW) that might have an earthen bank on either side extending NE-SW. From its S end it enters a confused area with elements of the field system (ME009-108---) and relict furrows, but the N end of the possible cursus (ME009-087----) is c. 100m S from it.
