The National Monuments Service's description
On the gentle NE-facing slope of a low WNW-ESE ridge, and first identified by M. A. Timoney. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 41.5m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.3m) which merges into the ground E-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and it is slightly truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at NW (L c. 25m). Burials (RO034-051----) were found c. 120m to the S.
