The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a Sroove cashel (SL046-018001-). Two roughly linear heaps of loose stones, at right angles to each other, generally define an area (c. 9m N-S; 9m E-W) of slightly sunken ground. This may be the remains of a house site. Immediately to S, and just E of the centre of the cashel interior, is a roughly oval cairn (3m N-S; 4.6m E-W; max. H 0.9m) with a further linear concentration of stones (3.8m NNW-SSE; Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m) extending north-westwards from it. There is a souterrain (SL046-018003-) immediately to NW.
