The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope of low hillock. Spectacular views of Galtee Mountains to S. Roughly semi-circular area (diam. 30-35m) defined from N-E-SSW by what appears to be an earthen bank with some stone facing visible at SSW. Field boundary (long-axis c. N-S) truncates W half of monument. Access to interior was not gained due to dense vegetation of mature trees, bushes and undergrowth.
