Today this site consists of a semi-circular enclosure containing two possible beehive chambers; its opening on the S side is now filled in. The W chamber is semi-circular, 11m E-W. The stone bank is .8m high. To the E is the second possible chamber the W side of which touches the first chamber's E side. It measures 15m E-W, and the enclosing bank is .6m high.
