Situated on a gentle NW facing slope overlooked by nearby ridge to the SE, with good views to the W & N. Templeoran Church (WM011-099----) and graveyard (WM011-099001-) 600m to WSW. A rectangular shaped mound (approx. diam. 14.5m NE-SW; 9m NW-SE; H 0.8m) is visible in the interior of a ringfort (WM011-100---) which may be the remains of a collapsed house site.
