The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight E-facing slope in pasture, 2m to E of external base of bank enclosing a rath (SL011-090001-) and conjoined to the NE side of a second hut site (SL011-090004-). Circular area (diam. 3m ) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth base 1.4m; int. H 0.3m). From S-SW, the site is defined by the second hut site (SL011-090004)-. From SW-N the bank is absent and the edge of the site is defined by an inward facing scarp (H 0.2m). A break (Wth 1m) in the bank at ESE marks the original entrance.
