In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of Coomeelan stream. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) protrude above the surface of the bog and extend (L c. 60m) to the E from the E bank of a stream. From here the wall branches into two sections, one to the SE and the second to the N. The first branch (L c. 85m) extends to the SE and then curves E. Following a break, the branch continues for a distance of c. 70m to the N and then to the W where it abuts the W side of outcropping rock. The second section branches to the N and then curves to the E for c. 70m where it abuts the W side of the same outcropping rock. Six hut sites (KE103-006003-, KE103-006004-, KE103-006005-, KE103-006006-, KE1030-06007-, KE103-006008-) and an enclosure (KE103-006----) are within the network of walls. There is a cairn (KE103-006002-) 8m to the S.
