The National Monuments Service's description

On a slight rocky rise with marshy pasture to the W and scrub to the E. A possible house foundation, subcircular in shape (int. 7.2m N-S; 7.1m E-W) defined by a wall of crude rough rocks (max. Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.6-1.4m; ext. H 0.5-1.2m). The wall incorporates particularly large stone blocks along its N and S edges. It is thicker on the W side, decreasing in width to the E. Rough gaps are present at the NE and NNW. The interior slopes slightly to the S and SW and contains a few grassed-over stones.
