On a rocky E-W ridge. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5m) defined by the lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.75m) consisting mainly of larger stones which protrude above shallow bog. A large boulder is incorporated into the wall along the W arc. The entrance (Wth 0.8m) is at the SW. Another hut site (CO104-024002-) is c. 2m to the E.
