Situated on the level floor of the valley of the NE-SW River Bann, with the stream c. 170m to the NW. The cropmark of roughly square enclosure (ext. dims. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) with two parallel enclosing features is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDJ 67; MM (52) 28). No feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
