This is a hut circle, remaining as a platform set onto a W-facing slope. It measures 8.5m N-S by about 6.5m within a wall of indefinite width, the east arc having been truncated by an old road. The entrance was probably from the S. The hut is on the edge of a forestry area; it has been preserved from ploughing but is partially planted.
