The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-W ridge with wide views E-N, in rough pasture within a field system (CL009-166001--) which is itself within a larger multiperiod field system (CL017-180----). Identified by Paul Walsh (SMR file). This circular hut site (int. dims. 5.5m E-W; 5.2m N-S; ext. dims. 9.9m N-S; 9.4m E-W) is defined by grass-covered wall collapse (H c. 0.3m; Wth c. 2m). Contemporary field walls abut the hut site at N and SSW.
