The National Monuments Service's description

At the bottom of a slight NE-facing slope with outcropping rock. Oval grass-covered area (int. dims 44.8m NNE-SSW; 37.5m WNW-ESE) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m) with intermittently visible facing stones (original Wth 1.4m at at S). The original entrance is not identified. There is a quarry (diam. 6m; D 0.2m) inside the perimeter at S, and a quarry (Wth of base 6m; D 0.2-0.6m) outside the perimeter SE-SW. The interior is traversed by a WNW-ESE stone wall and townland boundary which also partly overlies the perimeter at W (L 7m) and E (L 11m).
