What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope, in improved, gently undulating pasture. A circular area (diam. 20m) defined by a well-formed sod-covered wall of stone (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.15m; Wth at top 2m; overall Wth 7.25m). Thorn trees grow around top and sides of bank. There is no obvious entrance gap. The interior has a slight tilt downslope to E. An irregular heap of stones covered in vegetation is located within the centre and other loose stones are scattered around the interior. A linear limestone ridge (long-axis NE-SW) projects (L c. 55m) from exterior of monument at E and appears naturally formed. A laneway (long-axis NE-SW) flanks the exterior of the monument to N. A field fence (long-axis NW-SE) is located c. 2.5m to W and a stone wall townland boundary (long-axis NE-SW) is located c. 4m to N.
