The National Monuments Service's description
In rough reclaimed pastureland in an area of outcropping limestone. This small roughly oval-shaped enclosure (c. 8.5m E-W; c. 6m N-S) is visible on current aerial imagery (OSi digitalglobe (2011-2013) and Geohive MapGenie Imagery (2013-2018)). This monument was also noted by Kate Lavender and reported to the National Monument Service as a roughly rectangular hut site (int. dims. 4.8m N-S; 5.1m E-W; ext. dims. 10.2m E-W; 9.6m N-S) with rounded corners defined by low earth and stone banks (Wth 2.2-2.7m) with gaps at N, S and E some of which were made by livestock. Upright flat slabs line the inner edges of the N and S banks.
