In rough hill pasture, on bog and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO090-024001-). The remains of a roughly square hut site (3m E-W; 2.8m N-S) defined by a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The wall remains at the S and the E are linear sections of relict field walls from the network of field boundaries.
