The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on wet rushy land in upland area on W facing slope of rising land. Poorly preserved remains of a sub-circular shaped hutsite (int. diam. 5.4m) defined by a low dry-stone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.2m) with much collapsed rubble which partially obscures the shape of the hut site. There are possible traces of an internal cross-wall although this is obscured by the collapsed stone. There is no evidence of any entrance into the hut site. A second hut site (DG090-009002-) is located 170m to the NW and both of these hut sites are located amongst a field system (DG090-009003-) which appears to be contemporaneous with the settlement sites.
