The National Monuments Service's description
In generally level pasture (103m OD), overlooking valley to W. Good views of surrounding landscape and enclosed by higher ground all around. Beenoskee and Stradbally mountain clearly visible to N and gap in mountains to S, where Owenascaul River enters the sea. No visible surface trace. No outcrop visible anywhere in this half of field. A large rock has been used to block an opening in a collapsed drystone boundary, adjacent to NW. Stone is weathered and only parts of surface were visible; no markings evident, although these could be obscured by its current location.
