The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope in poor rush-covered pasture with reclaimed pasture immediately to the N; the area containing piles of cleared rocks and boulders, with some larger boulders left in situ. Low-lying marshy ground lies to the W with ‘Lough Hemush’, a very small lake, c. 100m to the WNW. Reported as a possible megalithic structure (SMR file). No visible surface trace of a megalithic structure was found at or near the reported location.
