Not marked on the OS maps, this site is known locally as a ceallúnach and is located towards the centre of a large sloping field on the lower E slopes of Kilbeg, Valencia Island. It overlooks Valencia Harbour to N and consists of a raised area of approximately rectangular plan which measures 10.5m N-S x 17m E-W and averages .6m high above surrounding ground level. About twenty, low, uninscribed slabs stand on its upper surface.
