The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a poorly drained E-facing slope in an upland area overlooking the Nenagh river valley to the NE. The site consists of a circular area (diam. 9.1m N-S; 10.3m E-W) defined by 10 low orthostats with a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.69m) at N where two of the largest stones survive. The stones range from 0.4m-0.9m L; 0.10-0.15m and 0.2-0.7m H. The grass-covered interior has evidence of several slabs barely protruding above the surface.
