The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle E to SE-facing slope. Two subrectangular house foundations (dims. 9m x 5m, and 8m x 6m) defined by earth and stone banks (Wth 1.5m; H 0.4m). The first is bisected by the NW boundary of a later irregular enclosure (dims. 30m x 15m) which is open to the SE. The second house occurs immediately N of the first. To the NW of the houses is a rectangular field with traces of ridge and furrow cultivation defined by low banks. Part of a second field survives to the SW and there are extensive, apparently unenclosed, areas of cultivation upslope to the W. (Information P. Healy)
