What is recorded here
In flat terrain at the foot of Sturrakeen, one of the mountains in the Galty range, in lush meadow. The monument was identified on an aerial photograph (Air Corps V.311/2965-6) as a small enclosure (diam. c. 10m). It is not visible at ground level, though the lush meadow at time of inspection may be obscuring any subtle features.
