The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture and blanket bog, overlooking Friar's Glen. The remains of a D-shaped clochan (2m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1.6m) with a straight W side (L 1.6m N-S) formed by a rock outcrop. There is an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at N. A corbelled roof (H 1.6m) covers the S portion of the clochan. A hut site (KE074-031001-) lies immediately to the NE.
