The National Monuments Service's description
On a ledge close to the base of a steep S-facing cliff in rough mountainous terrain. Approximately rectangular structure (dims. 3.2m N-S; 2.8m E-W – Wall T 0.9m) defined by the remains of a very poorly built drystone wall (Wth. 0.9m) composed of stones of varying sizes. It is best preserved on the E side were it is composed of a series of large stones, set on edge, augmented in places by smaller stones. The E side has largely collapsed. There is no indication of a doorway or of a hearth. The nature and function of this feature cannot be determined with any degree of confidence on the basis of the upstanding remains.
