The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground with a cashel (CL010-051001-) c. 50m to the NE. Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 a small circular cairn (diam. 3.2m; H 1.3m) was found with large stones near the base tapering to smaller ones towards the top. This is likely to be a clearance cairn.
