The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying wet ground in rushes, with a low rocky terrace and slightly higher land c. 10m to the SSW. This small, poorly preserved, sub-circular hut site (int. dims. 7m E-W; 6m N-S) is defined by a low, grass-covered wall (Wth 0.4-0.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) of small earthfast stones, some laid transversely across the wall’s line.
