The National Monuments Service's description
In rough mountainous terrain, situated on the S bank of the Keerglen River. Raised subrectangular area (23.7m NNE-SSW; 18.9m WNW-ESE) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, except from W–WNW where it is defined by a steep river bank. In the SW quadrant of the interior are the wall footings of a subrectangular house (MA014-044001-). A rubble-filled depression within the house may indicate a souterrain (MA014-044002-).
