In rough heather-covered hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope with views N over Sliabh Luachra. A circular area (6.7m N-S; 6.6m E-W) defined by the lower courses of a roughly constructed, partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 1m). The entrance (Wth 0.45m) is at E. Short collapsed walls (L c. 1m) lead outwards from each side of the entrance. Hut sites (KE068-127002-) and (KE068-127003-) lie c. 180m to the NE and another hut site (KE068-127004-) is c. 100m to the NNW.
