Subrectangular structure, defined by low, partly turf-covered stone footings. Measures 6.4 m x 4.9 m internally. Bank is 1 m wide and 0.4 m (1 course) high. Concentration of boulders at NW end may be collapsed gable, but more likely some disturbed external feature. Entrance probably on NE side, but there is also a gap (from disturbance?) in SW side.
