The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the eastern boundary of a field of improved pasture used for animal grazing. At the base of a steep slope next to a stream. Partially obscured by small trees, otherwise in good condition. This site consists of a rectangular structure (dims. 8m N-S x 3m E-W) dug into the base of a very steep slope immediately next to a stream, with a lean to roof would have had a maximum height of c. 1.6m. This site would have been almost invisible from all directions and its location next to a stream, suggesting that this was probably the site of a poteen still.
