The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a slight rise in an area of rock-outcrop. Subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 26.5m E-W; 24.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.05m generally to 0.75m at W; ext. H 0.2 at N to 0.9m E-S), which has been quarried E-SE. There is no visible entrance, but the foundations of a N-S drystone wall (L 8.7m; Wth 1.5m; H 0.1m) towards the perimeter at E may be one wall of a house-site (RO006-095002-). A modern E-W field-wall overlies the perimeter at N.
