The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-clad hill pasture, on a S-facing slope in the valley of the Clydagh River. A rectangular area (16m E-W; 2.2m N-S) defined by a heather-covered stone wall along the N side, by a collapsed stone wall at E, by a drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.8m) along the S side and by a boulder and stones from a collapsed entrance at W. The stone wall at N cuts (D 1m) into the upslope. The wall at S is formed by an E-W field boundary.
