The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise on a SE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 28.6m E-W; 28.5m N-S) defined by a stone wall (at S: Wth 2.7m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2.1m), with inner an outer facing stones at the base NE-S-W, but the wall is pushed inwards at NW and has spoil added to the outside NW-NE where it forms the townland boundary with Cashelard. There is no visible entrance.
See the attached aerial view taken from the SE.
