The National Monuments Service's description

In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope with rock outcrops, overlooking the Clydagh River valley. A roughly oval area (6.1m E-W; 4.8m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.6m at base; H 1.4m), which narrows (T 0.3m) at the top. There is an entrance (Wth 1m) at N. A drystone wall (L c. 8m NW-SE) abuts the external face of the enclosure wall on the W side of the entrance. A similar wall (L c. 8m N-S) abuts the enclosure wall at NE. Parts of the enclosure wall have been rebuilt. It is used as a sheep pen. There is a hut site (KE076-007001-) c. 4m to the W.
