The National Monuments Service's description
On the W bank of N-flowing stream. Recorded by Morahan (2001, 75, no. 119) as a circular area (int. diam. 4.5m, overall diam. 7m) defined by an enclosing stone wall (Wth 1.2m at SSE) with intact external and internal facing survives to height of 0.6m. On the inner facing, two stones at N and another stone at W are larger (L c. 1.4m; H 0.4-0.65m) than average. There is no clearly defined entrance.
