The National Monuments Service's description
An oval hut was identified though test-excavation (Licence no. 06E0799). Located to the northeast of a rounded hilltop, the hut (4.5m max. diam.) is defined by a slot trench (0.3m wide) and several postholes. Preliminary interpretation indicates a prehistoric date (Frazer 2007, 36).
