The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise bordering the stony shoreline on the SW side of Ballisodare Bay. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Identified from aerial photograph. Raised rectangular area (c.7m E-W; 6.4m N-S) which is defined at NW and N by a low curving bank (Wth. 2.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m). The bank cannot be traced at E, and there is a break (Wth 2m) in the bank at W. On the S side, it adjoins the N side of a possible rectangular house (SL019-178001-). The remains are poorly defined and difficult to interpret.
