The National Monuments Service's description
In rough steep hill grazing, on the N side of the Priest’s Leap, on a W facing valley containing a tributary of the Coomeelan Stream. The remains of a circular hut site (KE103-060----) built on a low ridge of exposed bedrock. A small stream runs immediately to the W while the main river is further to the E. Immediately to the SW there is a small, roughly rectangular and partially built up area which could have been used for corralling livestock or for cultivation. Further to the SW and also to the N are two dry stone walls built across natural terraces.
