In rough pasture, covered with a scatter of water-rolled stones, at the head of a NE-SW inlet on the SW side of Sherkin Island. There is a reed-covered marshy area to the NW. A circular slightly raised area (diam. 7.5m) defined by an enclosing element (T 0.5m; H 0.15m) formed by intermittently placed large stones, which protrude from the ground. Loose stones from the seashore are scattered within and around the possible enclosure.
