On a low SW-facing prominence in rough pasture, with karstic outcrops all around. Within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL008-109001-). This circular hut site (8.5m N-S; 8.3m E-W) is defined by a double-faced stone wall (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.4-0.8m) with a rubble core. The wall-faces are made from limestone slab uprights. There is a clearly defined entrance (Wth 1m) at W. The N-sloping interior is bisected by a NW-SE wall. There is a cashel (CL008A003007-) c. 77m to S.
