The National Monuments Service's description
In thistle-covered pasture, with a gradual fall of ground to E and good views over the surrounding gently undulating terrain. The summit of Croagh Patrick rises above the spine of the Partry Mountains on the far horizon to WSW.
Flat-topped earthen mound (diam. top c. 7m; overall diam. 9.6m N−S, 10m N−S) defined by a low, dilapidated scarp (H 0.3-0.4m). There is a shallow surface depression (diam. c. 1−1.5m) in the top of the mound at the SE. A possible ringbarrow (MA111-037001-) is 10m to NW.
