The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of the E end of a low E-W ridge. Subrectangular grass-covered area (dims. 18.6m E-W; 13.5m N-S) with a field bank at W contains numerous grave-markers (dims. c. 0.3m x 0.3m; H c. 0.1m) in rows roughly aligned N-S and placed 0.8-1.1m apart. It was described as circular (Gannon 1972) and it may have been truncated at E where there is a severe scarp (H 2m). (Timoney 1996, 19)
