Marked as a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 55m N-S; c. 45m E-W) abutting onto an E-W lane at N on the 1837 ed. and as a sub-triangular field (dims c. 100m E-W; c. 50m N-S at W) on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but named 'Lisheen' in gothic lettering on both. Situated on a slight S-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level in pasture.
