The National Monuments Service's description

Abutting a linear wall (long-axis NNW-SSE) to E, in the N sector of a cashel (CL035-044----), immediately S of a hut site (CL035-044002-). A rectangular area (c. 12m ENE-WSW; 10m NNW-SSE) defined by a moss-covered drystone wall (L 10m; H 0.4m; Wth 2m) to N, by the internal arc of the cashel (int. H 1.2m) at E, by a wall at S (L 12m; H 0.35m; Wth 3.2m) and the internal dividing wall (Wth 4m; H 0.4m) of the cashel at W. The wall at N comprises very large moss-covered boulders and appears randomly arranged. The wall at S has a breach (Wth 2m) off-centre to E. The interior is level and grass-covered. A hut site (CL035-044001-) is also located in the SW sector of the cashel.
