Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 9 July 1997
The structure is a rectangular, east-west orientated wall, built into a slopig hollow using the natural outcrop and crags around. It measures 12m wide by c. 20m long, and strands between 0.5 & 1m high. The wet lands to the west drains into the enclosure, formed by the end of the wall on the southern edge and a rock outcrop on the northern edge. A pool of standing water has formed inside the enclosure, which is acting to dam the drainage.
