The splayed entrance in the E is c. 1.0m wide inside, increasing to c. 2.2m outside. On the N side of the entrance is an upright block, which is now loose, and may not be in situ. Around the W arc of the hut, is an external depression, c. 0.2m deep and 1.0m wide. Extending SW from the hut is an area of stone clearance heaps probably from contemporary plots, though details are obscured by previous afforestation.
