The National Monuments Service's description
Rectangular Enclosure (KE090-005003-) within KE090-005----: A rectangular area measuring 6.9m x 6m is enclosed by a well-built drystone wall, averaging .6m high and 1.1m wide. Its internal angles are slightly rounded and an ill-defined entrance is located at W, where a notched slab lies on the surface of the wall. In its interior is a rectangular mound of stone, .4m high, with traces of coursing at its edges. Some coursing is also evident in the body of the mound (KE090-005005-), which includes much quartz.
