The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope. Subcircular overgrown area (dims 39m N-S; 35.4m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 2.5-4.2m; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 0.2-0.7m), with inner facing-stones visible at W. The original entrance cannot be detected, and there are local reports of its use as a children's burial ground (RO054-010002-), but no grave-markers are visible.
