In the SE quadrant of a larger D-shaped enclosure (SL022-010001-), bordered on the SE side by a stream. A slightly raised subrectangular area (26m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) enclosed by the largely grassed-over remains of a low wall (int. H 0.1-0.3m) of stone and earth, which incorporates the enclosing bank of the larger enclosure on the NE and SE sides. The interior of the burial ground is divided in two by a low scarp on a NE–SW axis which marks a drop of 0.7m in ground level between the larger NW part and a lower, smaller SE terrace which slopes down to the stream. In the NW corner of the raised NW part of the burial ground, there is a cross-inscribed pillar (SL022-010003-). A random scatter of low stones protruding from the sod may represent grave markers.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL022-010002
