The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual W-facing slope. Heavily overgrown with forestry and bracken. An oval area (diam c. 40m) enclosed by a stony bank (Wth 2m; H 0.8m) well preserved along the N side but much reduced elsewhere, especially along the W where it has been reduced to a scarp. Entrance at W (Wth 1.8m) defined on its S side by a large granite boulder set on edge (L 1.1m; H 0.6m). Hut site (WI005-115002-) in the E quadrant. At the NE an annex abuts the main enclosure.
