A rectangular structure, measuring 6.5m by 2m, depicted on the OS 25-inch field trace of 1908, is represented by a number of slabs incorporated in a field fence. Two of the stones are set. One, 1.2m long, 0.45m thick, and 1.65m high, exposed in the S face of the fence, is aligned NW-SE. The other, 3.5m to the W, protrudes from the opposite side of the fence which is about 2m thick. This measures 1m long, 0.4m thick and 1.4m high. Between the set stones two partially concealed slabs are embedded in the fence.
