The National Monuments Service's description
In blanket bog, with occasional rock outcrops, on a SW-facing slope. An elevated rectangular area (8.8m E-W; 1.6m N-S). Crudely built stone facing (H 0.4m) defines the perimeter; the interior is partly grassed-over and has stones and turf residue. Six hut sites (KE109-037001-, KE109-037002-, KE109-037003-, KE109-037004-, KE109-037005-, KE109-037006-) are nearby.
