The monument comprises a depopulated settlement of post-medieval date.
The monument lies in rough moorland at about 360m O.D. It is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (1867) as the ruinous township of Little Shinagag, comprising four unroofed buildings (one of which is a long building and another is L-shaped) and an enclosure. Six unroofed buildings, an enclosure and a head-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973). The remains vary from completely grass covered walls measuring c. 0.3 high to drystone walls c. 0.8m high and range from c. 5-28m in length by 2-3m in width.
The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is irregular in shape, with maximum dimensions of 125m N-S by 115m E-W, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
