The National Monuments Service's description
The hut site is located on the southern side of the enclosure (CO092-088001-) and close to a gap in the eastern wall. It is circular in shape and partially dug into the slope at the W side. It measures, internally, 5m E-W; 4m N-S with walls surviving to a max H of 0.8m; 0.8m W with a possible entrance, 1m W, at the western end. The southern terminus of the possible entrance to the hut site forms a further small rounded ‘annex’ measuring 1.6m N-S by 1.4m E-W. The complex is c.36m west of a stream.
