The National Monuments Service's description
To the north-west of the hut-site (DG089-018025-) is a sub-rectangular spread of rubble c. 7 by 4m at the west end of which is a sub-circular ruined structure c. 2m in internal diameter. The exact outline and function of the former is unclear; the latter is probably a hut-site. The location of this hut-site is approximate. (Walsh 1983, 55, Fig. 18, B)
