The National Monuments Service's description
On level karst pavement c. 750m E of the seashore. A well-defined horse-shoe shaped grassy mound (9.3m N–S; 7.6m E–W) opening to the north and highest (0.6m) to the south. A protrusion at S extending into the centre is likely to cover one or more troughs. It was noted by Cunningham (1980, 31) as a grassy mound on the rocks and is depicted on Robinson’s map (1977).
