The National Monuments Service's description
Monitoring of topsoil removal in 1998 uncovered a spread of burnt stone (mostly granite) and charcoal across an area measuring 4m x 3m. This was at most 0.25m deep except where it overlay a rectangular pit. The pit was just over 1.9m long, 0.8m wide and 0.6m deep. A number of stones had been set around the upper edge as a form of kerbing. This mostly survived on the eastern side (O Neill 2000, 37-9, ).
