The National Monuments Service's description
In a low-lying landscape on the NW bank of the NE-SW canalised section of Blallyglass stream. A road (L c. 400m; Wth 2.7-3m) defined by earthen banks runs N-S through Bredagh, rising over a prominent WNW-ESE esker, although it does not survive at this point, and terminating at its S end close to the castle (RO047-058001-). It was re-cut as a drain over much of its length at the N end.
