The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. Situated within an enclosure (CL026-057001-) of which there are no visible remains at ground level and within which a modern house has been built. A drystone-built and corbelled passage (8.9m N-S; 1.4-1.65m E-W; H 1.57-1.62m), aligned NE-SW, entered at the N, is partly built on rock outcrop (L 3.2m) on the E side with ten lintels (Wth 0.6-1m), nine of which remain. The floor is clay, but much of it is obscured with rubble. It is now closed with an iron gate.
