The National Monuments Service's description

The monument is not represented on the OS 6-inch 1st edition (1837). It is depicted on the OS 25-inch plan (1909) as a raised (potentially circular) area represented on the east by an arc of hacures; this appears to indicate a possible enclosure. Houses have been built on the site which predate 1995 as they are shown on the OSI photo for that year.
