The National Monuments Service's description

Towards the E end of a roadside graveyard (KD026-010001-). A ruined rectangular structure (int. 10.6m E-W; 3.2m N-S) is defined by low grassed-over, collapsed walling (int. H 0.3-0.6m; Wth 1.3-2.5m; ext. H 0.2-0.6m). A gap (Wth 1.7m) mid-way along the S sidewall marks an entrance. A partially earthfast, chamfered arch-stone (L 0.5m; Wth 0.25m) lies in the SW corner of the interior, which also contains burial plots.
