The National Monuments Service's description
Within the SW quadrant of the interior of a concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). This is the S example of two abutting possible house sites (see also GA095-086003-) that were initially recorded by Westropp (1919, 174-5). It consists of a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m), roughly D-shaped in plan (4m N-S; 4m E-W) that abuts the inner face of the inner bank. Another possible house site (GA095-086001-) lies in the E sector.
