On a gentle S-facing slope in undulating terrain in grounds of Coolmore House, with golf course to S. Ringfort (diam. 38m E-W) has been landscaped with small storage building built in centre of interior. Monument is enclosed by a bank, largely reduced to scarp (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.9m) and fosse (Wth 3.4m; D 1.54-2m). Steps to the interior have been built up against the bank in the E and SW quadrant, with a gravel walkway in the fosse in the SE quadrant and a small ornamental bridge against the bank in the SSE sector.
