The National Monuments Service's description

Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (est. max. dims. L c. 38m NW-SE; Wth c. 30m) which pre-dates the boithrín shown angling to skirt it's SW and SE sides and which leads E to a broad expanse of bog. The boithrín was subsequently straightened, as shown on the latest ed. (1909) of the OS 6-inch map, to run directly across the monument. No visible surface trace survives; a modern house and garden lie to the SE of the gravelled boithrín and a soccer pitch lies immediately to the NW.
