The remains of a turf and heather-covered hut circle, measuring 8.5m N-S by 7.5m within a wall spread to 2.0m wide and 0.2m interior height. The interior slopes to the S where there is a vague entrance. About four small stony mounds to the NE of the hut along with one abutting the hut wall may be slight indications of contemporary cultivation.
