The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, on slight N-facing slope in gently undulating wet pasture. Roughly rectangular area (dims. 5.2m NE-SW; 3.5m NW-SE) enclosed by the footings of a drystone wall (Wth 0.75m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.35m). The wall is made up of limestone slabs laid on edge on the internal and external face of the wall with packing of small rubble limestone between. A break (Wth 1.1m) in the NE end of the SE wall marks the position of the original entrance.
