The National Monuments Service's description

Visible on aerial photographs (ACAP V206/3,4), and situated on a gently undulating landscape. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 43m E-W; 41.7m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m) NW-E-S, which merges into the slope elsewhere. Rath (RO022-109----) is c. 100m to the W. Archaeological testing (06E0981) c. 60m to the NE failed to produce any related archaeological material, (Carey 2009b). Archaeological testing (13E0278) on an extensive area (dims c. 180m N-S; c. 90-130m NW-SE) located c. 140m to the S produced no related material (Crumlish 2013).
