What is recorded here

On a local prominance in an undulating landscape. Subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 42.3m NW-SE; 38.7m NE-SW) defined by a stone spread (Wth c. 7m; H 0.5-0.9m) obscured by field stones and with some bushes. There is a record of a stone-lined entrance (Wth 2m) at N (Gannon 1972) but it cannot be detected now. A N-S fieldwall overlies the W part of the monument, and souterrain (RO048-027002-) is inside the perimeter at SW. The interior was used as a Childrens' Burial Ground (RO048-027003-).
