The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a low drumlin. Subcircular grass-covered area with some bushes (int. dims. 29m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 2-3.5m; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 0.2-1m), which has disappeared at W. There are no facing stones visible nor can an entrance be seen, but a rectangular house platform (RO003-024002-) (dims. 6m NE-SW; 2.7m NW-SE) defined by facing stones is at the highest point of the interior at SE. The site is surrounded by a partly tumbled drystone field wall N-SE.
