On break of S-facing slope under pasture in hilly upland terrain at S base of Slievenamon. Depicted as an oval enclosure on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. Monument has been truncated by NW-SE property boundary of a house and garden built c. 1980s. Ground level N of this boundary has been raised to provide a level platform for the house and garden which extends to NW.
