The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, broken by rock outcropping on a ridge, which provides excellent views E–SW of the surrounding hilly limestone terrain. The N and E sides of the field are bordered by commercial quarry pits. Oval area (int. diam. 4m NW–SE; 3m NE–SW) defined by a stone bank/wall (Wth 1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.2m). The interior appears very slightly sunken. There is a gap (Wth 1m) in the enclosing wall at SE. The outline is low, sod-covered and barely discernible. There is another possible hut site (DG103-103-084----) located 15m to S, and an enclosure (DG103-082----) c. 40m to NNW.
