A small circle, composed of a few stones; its use is not known.

J H Craw 1930.
The "circle" is situated on a level terrace and appears for the most part to be the remains of a small enclosure. Only the SE arc of its wall is left, consisting of about eight inner facing stones, suggesting a measurement of about 9.0m across. The site is too denuded to classify.

NR 793 923
The slight remains of an enclosure about 10m in internal diameter lie on a grassy shelf on the side of a ridge 1.25km NNE of Barnluasgan; an arc of boulders on the E indicates the line of the inner face and a scattered band of rubble, obscured by vegetation, marks the remainder of the circuit. The position of the entrance is unknown.
