The National Monuments Service's description
On the S side of a narrow, E-W valley. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A pair of small, circular, conjoined hut sites are orientated on an ESE-WNW axis (eastern one; diam 1.6m; western one 2.5m) and are defined by low, broad, earthen banks (Wth 3-4m; H 0.1-0.2m). There are no obvious visible traces of entrances. They are reminiscent of 'The Spectacles' at Lough Gur.
