The National Monuments Service's description
Fourteen near vertical stakes and posts (L 0.24-0.62m; diam. 0.05-0.08m) orientated N-S which were traced across the overgrown field surface towards the dryland (L 9m; Wth 0.7m; diam. 0.08m). There is also some associated brushwood on the field surface. Within the area examined the stakes were set 0.2-0.4m apart with a small number of horizontally laid pieces of brushwood which are orientated perpendicular to the stakes and posts.
