The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf on the N-facing slope of a ridge with a working quarry c. 60m to the N and c. 60m to the W. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 30.5m) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 2.6-5.3m; H 0.2-0.6m) which is rebuilt in places, but there is no visible entrance. A circular grass-covered cairn (RO006-131006-) (diam. 7m; H 0.2-3m) S of the centre may be a hut-site, although there is a tradition of its use as a childrens burial ground. Cashel (RO006-131001-) is c. 70m to the WSW, and cashel (RO006-132----) is c. 200m to the ENE.
