The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of a S-facing slope of the ENE-WSW Boley Hill - Carrigroe ridge and close to a col between those summits. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 28m) defined by a slight fosse feature is visible on iMAPs (2022). It is also faintly visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
