The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a collapsed SE-facing cliff face in rough mountainous terrain, overlooking Lough Croangan and Lough Crumbane. The upstanding remains comprise a series of small and medium-sized stones which may mark the collapsed basal portion of a small subrectangular building (dims. 2.9m NW-SE; 2.1m NE-SW). There are a number of loose stones within the interior.There is no indication of an entrance or hearth. The nature and function of this feature cannot be determined with any degree of confidence on the basis of the upstanding remains.
