The National Monuments Service's description

Within a field system (GA070-110002-). This house site is roughly D-shaped in plan (dims. 8m NNW-SSE straight side which has merged with low wall of field system; 5.25m ENE-WSW) and is defined by collapsed bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.25-0.3m; ext. H 0.2-0.25m). No obvious entrance is visible due to collapse. The interior is strewn with boulders and boulders are also scattered loosely around exterior. A possible hut site (GA070-110005-) lies c. 10m to the NNE.
