The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep SE-facing rocky slope to the E of the S steps (KE104A001017-) on Sceilg Mhichíl. An arc of a platform (L c. 17m NE-W) is defined by the remains of a well-constructed drystone wall (H c. 1.5m) sloping inwards as it rises. The wall survives best at S; both ends of the arc are totally collapsed and obscured by overgrowth. An enclosure (KE104A001030-) stands on top of the platform.
