This hut-circle is set on a terrace overlooking the north-easternmost buildings of the Diubaig township; it measures about 7.6m in diameter within a wall some 2m in thickness. For the most part the core of the wall is no more than 0.3m high, but the W half of the interior is defined by a row of facing-stones up to 0.6m high, while a row of low outer facing-stones is visible around the NW. The entrance was probably on the E but the wall has been reduced by robbing to little more than a scatter of stones at this point.
(WAT90 1418) Visited by RCAHMS (SH) 19 November 1990.
