The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the bottom of a S-facing slope, and just N of the third, most southerly and slightest of the southern Mucklagh banks (RO021-042016-), although the relationship is probably fortuituous. Intensive geophysical survey recorded evidence of a rectangular area (dims. c. 10m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) with some internal features defined by what may be a slot-trench (Wth c. 2m), the N angle of which appears to be destroyed by or buried deeply beneath the central bank of the southern Mucklaghs. (Waddell et al. 2009, 95-101)
