The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a hillock, on the lower N-facing slopes of Knocknabro. The remains of a circular hut (8.9m E-W; 7.8m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.7m) which is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope. A break (Wth 0.6m) at W may indicate the entrance. The interior is level and rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered mainly along the perimeter.
