The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, in an area of gently undulating pasture and bogland. Nephin Mountain dominates the skyline to SE. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; shown on the 1922 edition as a hachured arc (L c. 20m), curving NW–NE, in the S corner of a modern rectangular field, with a small cluster of buildings/farmstead immediately to E. It may have representing the N arc of a circular enclosure. There is no visible trace at ground level; the adjacent field boundaries and the buildings have been removed. There is a possible megalithic tomb (MA038-102----) 75m to SSE.
