The National Monuments Service's description
Not listed in the SMR (1989), but is included in the RMP (1995) where it is classified as 'Souterrain, possible'. This classification is incorrect. It is in fact an irregular setting of four stones (largest stone: L 1.1m; Wth 0.8m; H 0.3m) roughly enclosing an area of 1m x 0.7m and a line of partially sod-covered stones extending 3m to S. It is in the W half of the interior of Ardleebeg rath (SL027-026001-), 6m NW of the hut site (SL027-026002-).
