The remains of a square hut site (1.85m NE-SW; 1.75m NW-SE) defined by the lower courses of a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.7m), which is faced with rubble internally and externally. The entrance (Wth c. 0.4m) is in the S corner. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter and in the interior and the entire hut site is covered with ferns, gorse and briars.
