The National Monuments Service's description
Hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 228, no. 715) as follows; 'The circular enclosure [KE035-046001-] shown here on the OS maps has been severely modified. It is situated on level, poorly drained pastureland less than 100m W of the Scorid river and about a half-mile S of Brandon Bay. The monument survives as an irregular oval mound of earth and stones measuring 17.3m NW-SE and 12m NE-SW across its upper surface. A depression, 4m in diameter, which abuts the bank at W may mark the position of a hut-site, but other irregularities on the surface of the mound do not form any recognisable pattern'.
