The National Monuments Service's description
In a heavily overgrown area of rough pasture, on the S-facing slopes of a NW-SE ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a roughly circular hut (diam. 2m) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.9m). The entrance (Wth 1m) is at SW. Another hut site (KE067-119013-) is c. 12m to the NNW. According to the excavator (O'Donnell 2003, 160), partial excavation of this hut site revealed no evidence of date or of domestic occupation. (O'Donnell 2001; O'Donnell 2003)
