On a rough hill pasture terrace, on the S-facing rocky slopes of Eagle Hill and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO114-065004-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed, curving, drystone wall (T 0.4m; H 0.6m) and with a straight W side (L 1.6m) consisting of the linear face of outcropping rock. Gorse-covered rubble is scattered in the interior and around the perimeter of the hut site externally. Another hut site (CO115-065002-) is 8m to the NE.
