The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on S facing slope of Bawnloge Hill, in rough mountain pasture with good views of the valley to from E through S to W. Two hut sites (DG029-057001/002-) are located 135m to the WNW and a third hut site (DG029-056) is 245m to the NW. A panel of rock art (DG029-051) is located 120m to the NW. Present remains consist of a small sub-rectangular house site (int. dims. 5.9m NE-SW; 3.5m NW-SE) which is defined by low grass-covered walls (H 0.3m ; T. 1m) with no visible entrance gap. There is evidence of a low partition wall (H 0.2m; T 0.3m) composed of a series of large stones set on edge which defines a small room (dims. 1m x 3.5m) at the NE end. A larger house site (DG029-053) is adjacent to the NE end of this house.
