Situated within an extensive pattern of fields, covering 11 hectares, extending from Ballydonnell Brook up the side of Bulbaun mountain for 200m. Three irregular conjoined enclosures (max. dims. 50m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed by poorly preserved stone and earthen banks, with a house foundation (dims. c. 8m x 5m) in the middle enclosure. There are smaller oval enclosures (dims. 10m x 5m) in the NE corner of each.
