The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope c. 170m from the N bank of the NW-SE River Boyle. Circular grass-covered but poached area (int. diam. 28.5m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 2.5m; H 0.1-0.3m) with intermittently visible internal and external facing stones (original Wth 1.25m). There is no visible entrance, but a fragment of a disc quern was found at the site.
