The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on level ground in gently undulating pasture. The monument lies within the demesne lands of Doonally House c.500m NW. It is depicted as a circular tree-covered area on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1912 edition is shown as a partially tree-covered enclosure (diam. c.20m) without hachures. The monument is visible from aerial photography (GSI G33-4). According to local information it was levelled in the 1980s (SMR (1989) file) and there are no visible surface remains now visible at ground level. In all probability this was a tree-ring.
