The National Monuments Service's description
In high (500’ contour) rough grazing, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-032001-). Visible on DigitalGlobe (2011-2013) aerial imagery as a circular area (est. diam. c. 18m) defined by a stone wall traceable from S-W-N which looks collapsed and grassed-over from N-E. A later field boundary wall runs NE-SW across the perimeter at SE. A cashel (CL009-036001-) stands c. 25m to the N.
