The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight SW-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 12m N-S; 5m E-W) occupied by boulder-like grave-markers (dims c. 0.8m x c. 0.2m; H c. 0.4m) placed 0.8-1.2m apart and occupying the S interior of cashel (RO053-001001-). It may have extended further N and E but is disturbed by grass-covered quarrying.
