The National Monuments Service's description
At the E edge of a broad plateau. D-shaped grass-covered area (int. dims 22.8m N-S; 22.1m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2-3.8m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.3-0.4m) with occasional facing stones (original Wth 1.3m at E). There is an external quarry ditch (Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.3m) S-NW, but the perimeter is truncated at N (L 16m) by the S bank of an E-W road (RO028-206003-) of field system (RO028-206002-). There is no identifiable original entrance, but there is a grass-covered clearance cairn (diam. 3.8m; H 0.5m) N of the centre. House site (RO028-206013-) is outside the perimeter at SE.
