The National Monuments Service's description
On the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular overgrown but poached area (diam. 21m) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-1m) NNE-S-W with facing stones SW-W, but merging into the slope W-N. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but a depression (dims. 7.5m NW-SE; 3.5-4m; NE-SW; D 0.2-0.4m) inside the perimeter at SW may be a collapsed souterrain (RO003-054002-). Cashel (RO003-055----) is c. 180m to the NNE.
