The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Quinn and Carroll (2010) as ‘this complex is located to the ENE of wall 58 (CO080-089----) in pasture. It consists of a N/S wall which turns at the south towards the E. The hut (CO080-090002-) is located within the confines of the walls. The complex is situated on a gradual E-facing slope. Wall consists of large stones in places placed in a random linear arrangement. No construction methods apparent. Much of the wall is grass and sod covered. Some of the stones are set on edge but are possibly fallen from their original position. Some of the wall survives to 2 courses in height. Length 125m, Width 1.4m (collapsed), Height, 0.57m.'
