The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope of unreclaimed pasture, with high ground 1km to the E, Leamaneh hill to the NNW and a ridge c. 3km to the S with restricted views.
An oval grass-covered area (int. dims. 8.8m NW-SE; 5.75m NE-SW) defined by a wall (Wth c. 1m) with a double facing of stone visible from NE to SW and partially visible all along the perimeter except at NNW where a gap may be an entrance (Wth 2.2m). There is collapse at the perimeter at S and some long structural stones are visible (L 1.4-1.8m; H 0.4-0.8m). The exact function of this feature is unclear. A cashel (CL016-046----) is located c. 98m to the N.
