The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope in bog. A possible enclosure defined by a stretch of curving wall from SW to NW (total detectable L 10.2m; Wth 0.45m; H 0.43-0.95m) constructed of close-fitting rounded boulders with clusters of upright slabs in some parts. The possible N arc of the enclosure NW to NE can be seen on the OSi MapGenie orthophotographs (2012-2018). A field boundary (CL015-154----) lies c. 38m to the NW and may form part of a field system. A wedge tomb (CL015-001----) lies c. 60m to the NE.
