The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in rough pasture on a ledge (Wth 60m) at the foot of a NW-facing cliff (H 7–8m) overlooking the Caher River and Fanore dunes, on the western edge of a complex of enclosures, field walls and hut-sites (CL001-013001- to CL001-013006-), c. 20m to SW of enclosure CL001-013001-. A very poorly preserved and partly robbed-out rectangular structure (6m E–W; 4m N–S) defined by wall foundations (Wth 1m) constructed of large slabs, some laid end on end and some transversely. A large thorn bush occupies the SW corner and low thorn grows in the interior.
