The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of a NE-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (int. dims 35m NW-SE; 9.5m NE-SW) defined by the foundations of a stone wall with facing stones (Wth 1.7m) NW-ESE. The site is truncated by a NW-SE stone wall at SW and does not survive SW of this, apart from bands of boulders or spoil (Wth 3m) ESE-SE and SSW-NNW (int. diam. c. 35m NW-SE; c. 35m NW-SE). A hut-site (RO016-069002-) (ext. diam. 3.8m; int. diam. 3m) defined by a wall footing (Wth 0.3m) survives inside the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO015-037001-) is c. 100m to the E.
