The National Monuments Service's description
A small platform (exposed L 1.3m; Wth 0.9m) on the field surface consisted of longitudinal brushwood and roundwood extending E-W. A single isolated transverse brushwood immediately to the S of the spread extended the exposed width to 1.55m. The remains were badly degraded and milled and there was no evidence of woodworking. (Dunne 1999, 7, 99LBW0015A)
