A prehistoric house is indicated by a curvilinear earthen bank. It is located 8m from the coast edge and encloses an area 9.5m in width by at least 8m in length. The bank and dished interior area are covered with grass; occasional stones protrude from the bank. A single orthostat, which may be the remnant of a pier or internal division, stands in the interior, close to the inner wall face. A modern fence runs across the seaward end of the house. The site is now vulnerable to coastal erosion.
