The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a sharp E-facing slope, with good views across the River Shannon estuary to N and the surrounding landscape from N-E-S. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in 1987 as a small, roughly circular-shaped stone setting (diam. 1.5m) of unknown date (Rose Cleary, UCC). There are no surface remains visible of this potential monument. The area of the monument has been incorporated into the rear garden of a modern house as seen on Digital Globe (2011-13) and Google Earth aerial photography taken 2018.
