This enclosure is situated on low-lying land which is surrounded by bogland. It is roughly rectangular and measures 72m NW-SE and 66m NE-SW. It consists of an enclosing earthen bank; WNE the external height of the bank measures 1m, its width at the base 5m, and the internal height of the bank measures .35m. To the NE the external height of the bank measures 1.75m, its width at the base measures 6.5m and the internal height of the bank .2m. Extending from the N corner of the enclosure is a low, wide semi-circular earthen bank, which curves back into the enclosure towards its NW corner. The width of the bank at its base measures 19m, the external height has a very gradual slope and measures about 1.2m, and the internal height measures .8m. The incurved front of the bank is a distance of 12m from the NW bank of the enclosure. According to the landowner (Mr Stack) there was originally a souterrain (KE016-063001-) in the SW sector of the interior, but no surface trace of this could be found. The interior gently slopes down to the enclosing bank to the S, E and W and the interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land. The above description is derived from C.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
