The National Monuments Service's description
Hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (d)) as ; 'Located close to the E bank of the river, this roughly oval, drystone-built hut measures 5.3m E-W x 3.5m N-S internally, and its roughly-constructed wall stands to a maximum height of 1.2m. A c. 1m wide gap at SW probably represents the original entrance, but there is also a 0.7m wide gap at ENE'.
