On a level, exposed rock terrace c. 300m from the sea to the W and with good views to the SSE and NW. A circular area (diam. 18m) is defined by a drystone wall (H c. 1m; T 0.5-0.6m) of loose, drystone construction, the stones laid horizontally apart from a few stones which have been set on their edge from ENE to ESE. The grass-covered interior is generally level but with some areas of exposed bedrock. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 7 November 2022
