The National Monuments Service's description
About 20m east of the inner enclosure (DG089-018are the remains of another hut-site (Fig 18, F). It is sub-rectangular in plan, 2 by 5m internally with walls c. lm thick. The interior courses of the north wall survive, 0.6m high, and the north-east corner is concave in plan. The structure is surrounded on the east by a low semi-circular, grass-covered bank, 0.5m wide by 0.3m high, which joins a mass of wall-collapse and rubble to the north. (Walsh 1983, 55, Fig. 18, F)
