The National Monuments Service's description
On wet, low-lying ground. A report in 1986 (SMR file) recorded a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 22m), part of which was enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level.
