The National Monuments Service's description
In blanket bog on the SE slope of Diamond Hill, on a terrace within a sharp bend of Sruffaunloughaunnavcagh, a small stream that flows into the Polladirk River to the E. This overgrown subrectangular structure (int. dims. 3.6m N-S; 2m E-W; int. H at NE 0.7m) is defined by double-faced walls. A possible entrance gap is visible on the W side. A low wall (L 2.6m) extends off the NW corner and runs westwards. It ends at a small oval structure (0.8m N-S; 0.7m E-W) defined by a single line of boulders. Possibly a booley hut. A small structure (CL023-062---) lies c. 30m to the SW.
