The National Monuments Service's description

In level pasture. No visible surface trace. Curvilinear series of hachures depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map in no discernible pattern. Circular feature depicted to NE is a small depression planted with fir trees. Substantial field boundary to E, however townland boundary to S is of similar size and extends to E and W beyond possible monument. No features depicted on 1840 edition OS 6-inch map so ground may have been infilled after quarrying activities. Enclosure (TS069-064----) located 490m to NW.
