The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf towards the top of a N-facing slope of karst limestone. This is a circular grass and fern-covered area (int. dims 28.1m N-S; 25.7m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2.6-4m; H 0.2-0.5m) NNE-S-NNW, and a scarp (H 0.2m) elsewhere. There is no identifiable original entrance but a field wall from the field system (RO036-018003-) is connected to the perimeter at SE.
