The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight E facing slope, on broad slight rise in pasture. Site has been disturbed and N half has been removed. Remains comprise a roughly semi-circular setting (diam. 4.8m) of seven upright stones (av. Wth 0.4m; T 0.2m; H 0.4-0.8m). Seven loose stones, that were probably originally upright, are strewn across the site. The original nature of this feature is uncertain. It has not been possible to determine either an entrance or orientation to the remains. All of the stones used in its construction are of conglomerate type while the dominant local stone is limestone.
