The National Monuments Service's description
Within a field system (GA070-110002-). A small keyhole-shaped area (dims. 3.2m NE-SW; 1.6m WNW-ESE) defined by collapsed earth and stone bank (Wth. 2.2m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.18-0.3m) may be the remains of a hut site. There is a narrow gap (Wth 1m) at SW and a wall (long axis WSW-ENE) associated with the field system extends from the W side of it. Stone is scattered loosely within the interior and also around the exterior. A house site (GA070-110003-) lies c. 10m to the SSW.
