The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape. A slightly raised grass-covered area (diam. c. 30m) is visible on Digital Globe (c. 2013) and it is also visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009), but it may have been removed by 2014 (Google Earth 17/06/2014) as the fields had been reclaimed by then. It was first reported by Liam Kenny.
