The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located at the N end of an elongated N–S rise in gently undulating terrain. Good views, with Nephin Mountain dominating the skyline to SW.
This monument is not shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps, but is shown on the 25-inch plan as a circular hachured feature (diam. c. 10m). It has been levelled. A slight rise (diam. c. 10m) in ground level can still be discerned at the location.
