On a gentle SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered but poached area (diam. 40m E-W; 38m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3-3.5m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 0.6-0.9m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.2-0.3m) S-W-NE, and a scarp (H c. 0.4m) and hedge elsewhere. There is no visible entrance. Archaeological testing (19E0760) by T. McHugh c. 10m to the SE at the closest point produced no related material (excavations.ie 2020:10).
