The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The curvilinear remains of a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.55m), which protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog, extend (L c. 50m) upslope to the NNW and then curve to the NE for a distance of c. 55m. Many stones are set upright at right angles to the line of the wall. Fallen rubble is embedded in the bog beside the wall.
