The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, heather-covered, hill grazing on bog, on a NW-SE saddle between two hills. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.55m) extend in a SE direction for c. 120m from a point 10m to the NW of a hut site (KE098-066----). A branch (L c. 75m) extends to the SSW from the approximate centre of the main wall. The tops of the stones, which are largely obscured by heather, protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog, indicating a mixture of boulder-type stones and slabs, many of which have fallen or are leaning. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 414, no. 1405)
