The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NE quadrant of an enclosure (GA083-020----). Noted by McCaffrey (1952, 113, no. 14) and annotated 'B' on his site plan; described as an 'enclosure' (9.7m N-S; 5.1m E-W) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.79m; ext. H 0.79m) with a doorway (Wth 1.2m) towards the S end of the W side. On inspection in June 1983 only the foundations were evident. A possible house site (GA083-020001-) lies in the SW quadrant.
