The National Monuments Service's description

On a level landscape c. 60m from the SW side of the subrectangular Loughaneally lough (dims c. 530m NW-SE; c. 270m NE-SW), which is marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Loughaneally was probably a turlough and is now reclaimed. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 124m ENE-WSW; 118m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5-0.6m) and an outer silted ditch (Wth of base 1.3-1.5m; D 0.1m). The SW angle has been removed by a WNW-ESE field bank. The area encloses is about 1.5 ha (c. 3.8 acres). Rath (RO044-071001-) is c. 20m to the N, and the perimeter of the enclosure at N cuts a relict field bank approaching the rath at S.
