Full Description

"Located above the western shore of Tob na Muilne, the remains of this rectangular enclosure measure 22 x 6 metres. Constructed of drystone the walls of this enclosure stand to a maximum height of 0.75 metres and have no apparent entrance. This enclosure is likely to represent the remains of a vegetable garden probably associated with the houses forming Torastay township." (Burgess 2004, 134-135)
