The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope in an area with field walls. It is not visible at ground level in pasture adjacent to a farm complex but it was probably a cashel. The cashel (RO050-005----) is c. 130m to the ESE.
