The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on an aerial photograph (GSI N 442-3) as the cropmark of a circular area truncated at NE by a later field boundary. At the top of a gentle SSW-facing pasture slope. The monument is not visible at ground level, but its siting suggests a possible rath site.
