Located on a fairly level landscape. Earthworks of an unmapped rectangular field system are visible on an oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: AVT 094) from 1968 and on Google Earth (01/06/2020). They cover an area of about 30 acres (c. 12 ha). A concentrated area (dims c. 160m N-S; c. 140m E-W) is divided into small rectangular plots (dims c. 30m x c. 20m) defined by wide silted ditches (Wth 3-5m; D 0.3-1m) with three silted ponds (diam. c. 20m) amongst the plots. A wide sunken linear feature (Wth c. 10m) extends S from this area and it once bordered a wood that is mapped on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Longer, narrower and more regular plots (dims c. 50-100m x 10-20m) defined by slighter ditches occupy much of the rest of the area. No house sites are identified, and it may be post-medieval in date and connected with flax-growing.

Located on a slight N-facing slope, and on what was the demesne of Ballymacoll House, the site of which is on higher ground c. 120m to the N. The mound is depicted and annotated in gothic lettering as ‘Mound’ on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular scrub-covered mound (diam. of base c. 12m; diam. of top 6m; H 2m) with some trees. It is defined by a fosse (Wth of base 4-5m; D c. 0.8m) with a causeway (Wth 2m) across it at NW. The top of the mound is occupied by the base of the masonry walls (Wth 1m) of a circular structure that was probably a gazebo or tea-house.
