The National Monuments Service's description
Two stone walls in an area of cut-away blanket bog wall: Wall A extends in a curved line approximately WNW for a distance of 134m. 40m from the ESE end of wall A, a second wall B crosses roughly at right-angles. This is 20m long in a SSW-NNE direction. These walls are likely to have been covered by blanket bog.
