The National Monuments Service's description
Hut site described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (g)) as; 'This circular hut is incorporated into one of the pre-bog field walls running E-W on the E side of the river. It measures 3m in diameter internally but the NW section of the wall is largely destroyed. Elsewhere the wall stands to a maximum height of 0.6m above the thin peat cover and is constructed of 3 to 4 courses of large boulders'.
