The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of rock-outcrop in a low-lying landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 20m) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1.5-5.5m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.95m). There is no visible entrance, but souterrain (RO006-161002-) is inside the perimeter at SW. A NE-SW field wall truncates the site at SE, and rath (RO006-160---) is c. 40m to the NW.
See the attached aerial image taken from the SE with this monument in the foreground.
