The National Monuments Service's description
In dunes at the N end of a bay on the W side of Omey Island. Following the winter storms in December 2013/January 2014 the badly eroded foundations of a least two structures were exposed in the dune face. One of the structures was probably about 6m in width and both were constructed of drystone boulders.
