The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the NE point of the Great Saltee Island, on a low-lying, level, grass and fern-covered landscape. Part of the foundation course of a circular hut site (int. dims 7.9m E-W; 4.8m plus N-S) is within the promontory fort (WX051A002001-), but most of the perimeter SW-N-SE is missing.
