The remains of a small circular enclosure are situated at the foot of the W flank of a rocky knoll on the W flank of the ridge known as Burnt Cairns. It measures 7.3m in diameter within a bank up to 1.8m in thickness by 0.2m in height. The bank is composed of fairly large boulders, one of which is set upright on the W and stands about 0.5m high. There is an entrance on the W. Slightly S of the centre of the interior, there is a mound measuring about 2.8m in diameter by 0.3m in height.

It is likely that the name Cairn Badnaspeorach refers to the rocky knoll rather than the enclosure.
