The National Monuments Service's description
Along a cliff face in an area with much hazel scrub. A mass-rock was noted at this location on Tim Robinson's 1977 map of the Burren. It was not found during inspections in 1999 and 2007. Two enclosures (CL010-100001- and CL010-100002-) lie c. 110m to the SW and c. 60m to the S respectively. A cave (CL010-100004-) is marked on Robinson's just to the N of the SW enclosure (CL010-100001-).
