The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a shelf at the base of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin and at the crest of an E-facing slope down to Drumlon Lough. A circular grass-covered area (ext. diam. c. 35m) that is probably defined by a wide earthen bank (Wth c. 5m) is visible in low winter sunlight on Google Earth (17/01/2020). It is also visible on OSI images (2000), and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
