The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level platform on a SSE-facing slope, partly buried in soil, grass and fern. A rectangular stone structure (int. dims. 1.8m WSW-ENE; 1.5m SSE-NNW). One course of set stones (c. 0.4m x 0.5m; H c. 0.25m) remains visible at SW, SE and E and there is a gap (0.8m) at SSE. This may have been a limekiln as there are some blackened stones along the N side.
