The grass-covered, tumbled walls of the buildings are 0.8 metres high by 0.9 metres wide. They all have rounded corners and are constructed of large stones, coursed but unbonded. The enclosure is only visible on the west of the island, as an 0.5m high grass-covered bank. A partly submerged causeway connects the island to the western shore.
