The National Monuments Service's description
In a semi-karst plateau in rough pasture, within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This circular hut site (int. diam. 8.5m) is defined by a moss-covered stony bank (Wth 2-3.2m; av. H 0.5m). The interior is quite stony and generally level. A souterrain (CL010-064083-) extends SSW from the SSW edge of the hut site.
