The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground at the foot of a low collapsed cliff face at the base of a collapsed SW-facing cliff face in mountainous terrain, overlooking Lough Croangan and Lough Crumbane. D-shaped area (dims. 9.4m NW-SE; 5.6m NE-SW) whose straight side is formed by the cliff face. The remainder of the circuit is defined by a series of 11 stones of varying sizes. The largest are at SE. There is no indication of an entrance. The nature and function of this feature cannot be determined with any degree of confidence on the basis of the upstanding remains.
