The National Monuments Service's description
In generally level pastureland. This house site (8m NNW-SSE; 6m WSW-ENE) is defined by a semicircular low earthen bank (Wth 3.45m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m) from NNW to SSW and by low disturbed traces of the bank from WNW to NNW. It opens to the SW (Wth 7m) beyond which it is obscured by dense vegetation. The house site truncates the W limits of a fulacht fia (GA101-078----) to its SE. A small subcircular annexe (5m NNW-SSE; 3.75m ENE-WSW) adjoining it at SE encloses the area between it and the NE end of the fulacht fia.
