The National Monuments Service's description
In a sheltered glade at the foot of a marked E-facing slope. Indicated on the 1839 and 1910 eds. of the OS 6-inch map as the site of a convent. The grass-covered foundations of a rectangular building (c. 18m x c. 16m) are visible at the location indicated on the OS maps. Three bullaun stones (WI021-019----, WI021-019001- and WI021-019002-) are in the immediate vicinity, one (centrally placed in the glade) having three basins. A disused burial ground (WI021-021----) lies c. 150m to the NE.
