In pasture, on the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains and c. 90m to S of stream. A roughly circular area (30.5m N-S; 32.5m E-W) enclosed by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.1m; int. H 1.75m; ext. H 2.2m) along the E, S and W arcs. A stone field boundary has been built on top of the foundations of a drystone wall along the N arc. The inner and outer faces of the wall are constructed of large rectangular blocks of stone, and the core is filled with smaller stones. A large amount of collapsed stone from the wall now lies in the interior. The entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at SSE, roofed by large lintels. The interior is bisected by a field boundary on a N-S axis. There is a steep natural slope down to S in the N third of the interior. The remainder of the interior is level as it has been raised to compensate for the hillslope. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL036-037002-) in the interior.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL036-037001
