The National Monuments Service's description
In a hollow c. 13m to the W of the edge of a precipice and within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). This large D-shaped house site (int. dims. 13.1m NW-SE), with a straight side at SW (int. L 9.8m), is defined by a grass-covered stone wall (Wth 0.8-1m; max. int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.2-0.4m) which seems to be faced; some spill is visible on both sides of the wall. The interior is distinctly sunken, most markedly at N and E. Another house site (CL009-084023-) lies c. 19m to the SE and there is a fulacht fia (CL009-084003-) c. 32m to the NNE.
