On a gentle N-facing slope of Rathcroghan ridge, and part of the unified field system at Rathcroghan. A area of c. 22 ha (c. 55 acres) contains field banks (Wth c. 3m; H 0.2-0.5m) largely reduced to low scarps forming small rectangular fields (dims c. 50m x c. 30m) with a roadway (RO022-056011-) (Wth 7m; L c. 300m) defined by low banks on either side running N-S through it. At its S end it meets a simiar ENE-WSW roadway (RO022-056058-) (L c. 300m) that continues S of the NW-SE public road. The fields (RO022-056031-) in Toberrory are c. 200m to the S.
