What is recorded here
Situated on well drained grassland overlooking Lough Owel 100m to W. A raised circular shaped area (approx. diam. 27m NE-SW) enclosed by two poorly preserved earthen banks with intervening shallow fosse. The outer bank is very poorly preserved and visible only at S. A field fence running NE-SW curves around the perimeter of the monument from SW-N-NE, probably along the line of the outer bank. This field fence is no longer visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
