Its roughly ten and a half metres of circumference are marked out by small, closely-set stones that rise only twenty to thirty centimetres above the soil, and most of those are now so thoroughly swallowed by vegetation that the circle announces itself to nobody. It sits on a low rise in rough, boggy pasture, easy to walk past and easier still to dismiss.

What makes the site more than just a modest ring of stones is the company it keeps. Running south-west from the circle for approximately thirty-five metres is a possible stone row, a feature consisting of an intermittent line of similarly low stones. Stone rows in Ireland are generally understood as processional or ritual alignments, often associated with other prehistoric monuments, and that pattern holds here. The row leads towards an enclosure containing a court tomb, one of Ireland's oldest megalithic monument types, typically dating to the Neolithic period and used for communal burial. Lying just seven metres to the north of the circle is a fulacht fiadh, a type of ancient cooking site usually identified by a horseshoe-shaped mound of fire-cracked stone and charcoal, thought to date broadly to the Bronze Age. The site as a whole, then, is less a single monument than a cluster accumulated across prehistoric generations. Its absence from the 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, with its first cartographic acknowledgement coming only in the 1913 edition, suggests it was not especially legible even to nineteenth-century surveyors walking the same boggy ground.
