The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on a plateau, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-021001-). A circular hut site (int. diam. 4.4m) defined by a grass-covered stone wall (Wth 1.4–2m; H 0.3–0.4m). The wall is made of large stones, with a fairly well-defined outer edge, especially at the NW and SE. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 1m) at E. Two enclosures lie c. 37m to the NNW and c. 23m to the NNE (CL009-021003-) and two house sites lie c. 39m to the NE (CL009-021045-) and c. 22m to the SW (CL009-021046-). (Grant 2010, 47)
