What is recorded here
No visible monument remains at this place. The ground may still hide a chamber or passage, but without excavation or clear surface evidence, the chamber stays speculation rather than fact.
In undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 50m) defined by an inner bank, with evidence of internal stone-facing, an intervening fosse and outer drystone wall. A field boundary clips the monument from NNW to N. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA104-143001-) in the W sector of the interior. (Knox and Redington 1916, 180-81; McCaffrey 1952, 230-31, no. 118)
