The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, heather-clad pasture, broken by rock outcrops, on a W-facing slope. A roughly triangular area is defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.75m) which is straight along the N (L 4.9m) and E (L 6.3m) sides and is curved outwards on the SW side. There is a gap in the centre of the E wall. Immediately N of this gap is a short section of wall (on an E-W axis) which extends W (L c. 2m). Loose stones are scattered around the perimeter.
