Situated immediately N of a field boundary in undulating open pasture on a gentle NW-facing slope. The monument is heavily masked by dense vegetation cover. Some un-hewn limestone blocks are visible in a rough arc (Wth c. 1m) around a spring. Immediately NE of the spring is a depression (diam. c. 5m) known locally as 'the pond'. St Senan was the patron but by the mid 1950s 'there are no devotions' (Ó Danachair 1955, 202).
