The National Monuments Service's description
Recovered from a hilltop enclosure (TS054-044----) situated in grassland on high ground with good panoramic views in all directions in upland region. An inscribed slab was uncovered during drainage works in a section of the inner fosse (Scott-O'Connell 1938, 125-6). The slab has since been destroyed but is described as being a 'roughly rectangular slab (type of stone unknown) divided into four sections by crossed lines and each section being engraved with figures and lines' (ibid.).
