The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope. This is a circular area (diam. 47.2m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 9.5m; Wth of top 3.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.7m) W-NE which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m at SW) SW-W. The church of Lissonuffy (RO029-099001-) is within its perimeter at SE, but the rectangular graveyard (RO029-099002-), which was imposed on it c. 1820 (O'Flanagan, 1931 vol. 2, 44-5) truncated the perimeter at E and S.
