In pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m).
When McCaffrey (952, 150, no. 73) carried out his survey he recorded that this monument was 'Not present'. No visible surface trace survives. There is a dried-up well here and the field is known locally as 'Gortnatober'.
