The National Monuments Service's description
In rough mountainous terrain. Raised approx. circular area (dims. 8.5m E-W; 7.3m N-S) enclosed by the partially heather-covered basal portion of a drystone wall (original Wth. c.0.6m). The wall is absent for a distance of 1.2m at E which may mark the remains of the entrance. However there is currently a shallow pool of stagnant pool immediately outside of this. The interior is relatively level. Immediately S of this monument is a modern E-W trackway. It is not possible to classify this monument further with any degree of confidence on this basis of the upstanding remains.
