The National Monuments Service's description
On a rocky E-W ridge. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 7m) defined by the lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.5m) which consist mainly of large stones protruding from shallow bog. Along the E-SE arc there are traces of an inner and outer row of upright contiguous stone slabs set end on. The entrance (Wth 1.1m) is at the SE. Another hut site (CO104-024001-) is c. 2m to the W.
