The National Monuments Service's description
Wall footings of a sub-rectangular-shaped house site (int. dims. 6.4m E-W x 8m N-S) defined by a low drystone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.3m) situated on a karst ridge with field system (DG097A010-) to E and W of house site. The dating of this structure is uncertain but it appears to be pre-1700 in date. A possible second irregular shaped hut site (DG097A009001-) is located 15m to SW. A line of flat slabs running off the N side of the hut site may be part of a field wall belonging to a garden boundary of the house site.
