The National Monuments Service's description
The poorly preserved remains of a possible circular-shaped hut site (int. dims. 1.85m x 1.85m) defined by a low drystone wall (H 0.5m; T 0.9m) situated on an E-W terrace on the S facing slope of Kinnagoe Hill. A hut site (DG029-048) is located 60m to the SW and possible field clearance cairns (DG029-058001/002/003-) are located 30m to the NE and E. A partially heather covered field wall runs onto the external face of the N wall of this possible hut site. This field wall runs off to the E along the base of the ridge running parallel to the terrace on which the hut site is located. The remains of several other heather covered field walls appear to run onto off this field wall forming a small field system which appears to be associated with the two hut sites and the small field clearance cairns (DG029-058001/002/003-).
